MMSC75 and Card Pattern Sketch 86 with Prickley Pear!

This card took me many hours....and yes, that is hand stitching you see...my second pop at paper embroidery!! I think it adds a lot of character to the card!! I am entering this in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 75...and I am so honored I was able to represent Prickley Pear on the Card Patterns Sketch Challenge 86 this week! I loved both sketches!!

The image is called Winter's Glow and is from the new Prickley Pear release. I couldn't wait to use one of my favorite techniques on it...glitter and acetate! I cut out the image and popped it up on foam tape for added dimension...and I love the little bit of shadow it makes!

Other items on this card:
~DMC embroidery floss
~Dress It Up glitter dot
~Martha Stewart punch
~BasicGrey designer papers.
~Art Institute Glitter
~Nestibilities

I absolutely love this card...thanks for the fun ladies!!!

Michelle, your card is amazing, I just love how you stamped the image on transparency and used the glitter, also love your stitching, something else to add to my "new techniques to try" list.
