Hey there guys! Nice to see you back - or hopefully nice to see some new faces too. I created this card for the Kraftin Kimmie
Piece Out challenge.
As the name implies, the challenge was to Piece part of the image you made. As I was contemplating the paper to use, I saw that Basic Grey also had a challenge this week to
"Punch It". Well that was providence. I must combine challenges.
I used the Basic Grey Oxford paper for her pants, top, headband and scrunchie. I then used the same two papers to punch some flowers out, and then another Basic Grey in the background.
I colored her in standby skin colors of E000, 00, 11 and R20. Then I layered on her outfit. For shading on the outfit I used the N2 to add some deepness. For her hair I used Y00 as the base, and then E13, 15, 18. Her Ipod, toe betweeney things and washcloth are RV52, 55. For the washcloth I did most of it in the RV52, then I added a teensy tiny bit of the RV55 at the bottle and where her foot is sitting. Then... I went crazy with the colorless blender and dotted and dotted and dotted... to make it have this faded look. It looks kinda soft and wooshy to me. :-)
OK... Thanks for coming. I have already gotten two of my cards done for Bombshell this month - I am ON A ROLL... So make sure you tune in on Wednesday to CHECK OUT THE DT's work for the Sketch Challenge. Oh - and you have a little bit of time still to apply to be a
Pin-Up for the next term. The designs are really cool and extremely versatile. You should try!!!!
Fabulous job paper piecing and punching.
