CDAC #16 Camelia



It’s Round 16 of the Progressive Challenge at CDAC  and for this round

Something’s In The Air

We have some lovely mages from some fabulous creators. Team A have the pleasure in bringing you some gorgeous samples for the images for this round.




My card is using a fab image called Camelia from Wax Fruit Company

****************************************

When I first saw the image I wasn’t sure what a Camelia looked like so did a little Google search and soon realised it is one of my favourite flowers but didn’t realise what it was or how many varieties of it there are. I hope the colours I have chosen do this gorgeous design justice.

I have used the sketch from the latest challenge at A Gem of A Challenge and it allowed me to use lots of papers from the Summer Bloom collection by Papermania.  I used the soft green spotty paper to bring out the colour of the background on the image. I coloured with pinks and did lots of shading and blending around the petals. 

I used a metallic gold Promarker for the stamens and added spots of Stickles gold glitter glue to the ends do they popped off. I used a Nestabilities die for the centre panel and Martha Stewart lattice and doily punches on the papers.

****************************************
