Melanie's Camellia's....and Winner announced!

Good morning, and Happy Thursday!

If you are where that snow is, brrrrr...........keep warm!  

We went from 68 degrees one evening, to tornado warnings in the night, and 14 degrees the next morning here in Missouri.  Mother Nature certainly enjoys surprising us!!!

I'm here today to share a card created with another fabulous image and sentiment from Melanie Muenchinger's set, "Stately Flowers 2".  This is my third week of working as a guest designer.  It's been such a delight, working with Melanie, and her stamps, that I hate for the month to end!

This time, I chose to use the Camellia.  I think it is so beautiful to work with.  Each petal is so well defined, that I decided to color the image on the CS itself, and then three additional times, so that I could fussy cut and layer the flower for dimension.  

All coloring with Copic Markers. Ribbon is May Arts. Pearls are ZVA. Line is drawn with a Zig Writer Pen. Card base is Kraft CS.  Card front is TAC Birch.

Here is a shot from the side, showing all four layers of flower.  I only layered the leaves twice, again, hoping that the flower would pop. 

I simply can't believe that my month with Melanie is nearly over!  Time really does fly when one is having fun!  Rest assured that I will be using this wonderful set over and over!   See you again next Thursday!
