This pretty little redhead is a fab
image that Linda Tieu from Tortagialli
gave us for the 2nd round of challenges at the CDAC.
I decided I was going to go down the
mean and moody route and made her into an Emo girl using grey and black with
red as the only real colour in there. Every time I see and Emo kid they seem to
have red hair and striped apparel of some sort so I made her tights stripey. I
think I’ve got the look right as she looks like my next door neighbour, my
niece, like loads of the kids that hand around St. Paul’s Cathedral in the
middle of Birmingham…… I bet they all think they look different but I think
they all look the same LOL
Following a sketch from the House
that Stamps Built I layered papers together from the HOTP pack with some
ribbon from my stash. Rather than put a full message on there I used chipboard letters
to spell HB. All these kids use Facebook and text messaging and seem to prefer
to use ‘text talk’ to hb for Happy Birthday it is (and here was me thinking it
had something to do with pencil lead….)
I used Promarkers to colour my image,
creating a second layer for the dress and glasses. I used stickles to highlight
the heart on the dress and glossy accents for the glass on the glasses.
If you took part in round 2 of the CDAC
Progressive Challenge you will have received your fabulous images. Team B
have provided the DT samples this time round and they have done a brilliant job
with them. If you missed out on the last challenge you can buy yourself back in
for only $1 so head on over to the CDAC
and be part of the fun.
