Crafty Catz DT - St David's Day

Good Morning! Wow, it's the first of March already - what's happened to the start of the year? I can't believe it's gone so fast. Anyhoo - another Friday means another new challenge over at Crafty Catz. This weeks theme has been set by the lovely Nina who, in honour of St David's Day, would like to see you make a card with either a Dragon or a Daffodil on it.
 
We have two lovely sponsors this week; Pink Gem Designs and J&C Creations
3 digi images of winners choice
 
 
I settled on Daffodils for my card and came up with this:
I had this idea of doing a fade out series of images. I was inspired by an animation cell that I have of mickey mouse in his various stages of completion from line drawing to finished image. Well, this isn't anywhere near as technical or amazing but I coloured the 4 images with pencils and mounted them on a hand cut and drawn shaped piece of floral paper from Fancy Pants Design's Paper Pad - Beach Babe and then mounted the whole thing onto some gingham paper from My Minds Eye Paper Pad - Blink of an Eye. The design was finished with some pearls in cream, green and blue.

So there we have it. I hope you like it and you're inspired to join us this week at Crafty Catz. Until next time though, happy crafting.
