CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

This week's CD Sunday Challenge is...Beautiful Blue

The card has been created in Serif CAP2 using Debbi Moore's Shabby Chic Music CD.

The guitar topper has been altered using the Transform feature. The music notes were digitally punched from some of the CD's papers in the CAP2 programme and the borders cropped from one of the CD's images.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

This week's CD Sunday Challenge is...Autumn Splendour

This is my entry

The oval background is from Peerless Designs Secret Garden CD and the dahlia is from my

Floral Sketchbook 1 Digikit (coloured digitally see how here).

The beige leafy background is from Joanna Sheen Thomas Kincade CD, decoupaged in CAP2.

The oval rope border is one of CAP2's brushes and the bow from one of the Daisytrail Digikits.

The knotted border is from Pam LeFors as is the pin which has had the middle removed and a small dahlia placed on the pin head.

I should add that dahlias are late flowering plants and so overlap into autumn!



FLORAL SKETCHBOOK PLAYTIME Part 7

The Floral Sketchbook designs can be used to create backgrounds, borders and even bouquets.

Examples

Making a simple background in CAP2: Create a coloured square. Import the lily sketch, copy, paste and resize. Place over the background, rotating the designs until you have a pattern you like. Group together and crop to the edges of the square.

The 'bouquet' was created in CAP2, printed on to inkjet watercolour paper and then coloured with Radiant Rain Shimmering Mists.

A card made using the lily sketch. The lily was coloured with Shimmering Mists and Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls. The flower centre was embellished with black Liquid Pearls.

FLORAL SKETCHBOOK PLAYTIME Part 6

If you are using a graphics programme such as CAP2 or MCS there will be a way of turning the

 Floral Sketches to a sepia colour. These can be used as they are, to create greeting's cards or in scrapbook pages or could be tinted with very dilute Radiant Rain Shimmering Mists or watercolour paint.

Examples

Tinted with very dilute Simmering Mists.

FLORAL SKETCHBOOK PLAYTIME Part 5

This time some of the Floral Sketchbook designs have been coloured with Pan Pastels.

The design were printed on to inkjet watercolour paper  and cut out.

The Pan Pastels were applied to the designs with a sponge and then a cotton bud for smaller detailed areas.

Examples

FLORAL SKETCHBOOK PLAYTIME Part 4

This time some of the Floral Sketches have been coloured with Brilliance ink.

The designs were printed on to inkjet watercolour paper, cut out and sprayed with water before colouring.

The Brilliance inks (lovely pearly colours) were applied by inking a paintbrush directly from the inkpad and then brushing it on the design.
