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.

Half Daisy


I didn't have a very good day yesterday depression wise. I'm just so tired and this awful dismal weather really affects my mood so badly so I had a bit of a cardmaking sesh and created some beauty which made me happier. I just really hate how I can be okay a lot of the time and then have such an amazing crash seemingly without any reason :(

Arielle at Wax Fruit Company has requested that we post cards made with her images so she can see lots of examples in the store. You get extra points if you feature one that isn't already there.

This Half Daisy from the Gerber Daisy set was on the CDAC and I have had it coloured with Promarkers for quite a while but not yet made it up into a card. I took a look at the current sketches and found one at Clean & Simple #152 which I thought would work quite well with the image.

I have used scraps of papers from Papermania Woodland Friends pad to match the browns in the sunflower, Gold peel offs for the wording and a Doodlebug double sided sticker which has been sprinkled with very fine gold glitter. For me this is a Clean and Simple card which shows off the digi perfectly.

Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size - A5
Paper - Woodland Friends by Papermania (more snippets used!!)
Sentiment - Peel off Stickers Forever Friends by Papermania
