Aifactory Challenge 27



This week our  Aifactory challenge was sponsored by Laurie from Clearly Delightful,  the images we used are available at the vault, and are currently reduced to $5 for the whole set!  Each DT member got to play with different flowers to showcase all of the lovely images.
I was delighted to receive the Easter Lily image to play with.  I coloured this image over 4 times before I was happy.  I used copics the first two times and they were just too bright for the image.  I decided in the end to use watercolour paper and Ranger distress inks to colour the image.  I sponged the edges of the circular die cut with distress ink and used a waterbrush for the main image colouring.  My sketch is from Laurie's challenge this month at Clearly delightful.  I liked the idea of using her image in her sketch challenge!

The challenge is CLEAR and SIMPLE.  
1. Use a CLEAR object or embellishment or technique of some kind. Some examples are a clear button or other embellishment, clear gloss lacquer, clear embossing powder (cracked glass technique comes to mind!), or anything that you can see through.  Get creative!  Think of other things that are clear that you can see through that you can use in your project. (NOT a clear stamp sentiment... it has to be something that stays on your project)
2. Keep your design at least a little SIMPLE so that your floral coloring is the first thing that stands out.
Yes, you may use ribbon and other accents, and even multiple layers, but  keep your layout and general items simple and to the point.  We want to focus on the center image.

We would love to see as many creations as possible, you dont have to use an AiFactory image but we would like to see as many as possible used.  You can find Aifactory freebies to play with over at the Vault.
When uploading your creations to SNR The Card UniverseAifactory or Papercraft planet  please tag them with AIF027.

Now I would like to enter this card into some more challenges.  I like the idea that I can link this card for both friendship and Mum because.. for most people out there Mum=friend.  That said
My time to craft would like - just for mum and Saturday Spotlight wants friendship, and Simon Says Stamps wanted Mothers day/Girly challenge..
