So this is my entry for the Make It Crafty design team and it uses one of their latest digi images,a very pretty young lady called Aleisha and she is part of a set which are very reasonably priced. I love this set because it is the first time I have ever done anything remotely Anime looking and I really enjoyed colouring it too. Make it Crafty make some of the best digi stamps on the market (along with my other favourite Kenny K!) and they are so versatile. They make background stamps which you can use for loads of different cards and the themes they have are really modern and incredibly well drawn. If you haven't checked them out before, I can't recommend them highly enough - go on, treat yourself to some amazing artwork at a great price too, because you're worth it!
This is the first time I have ever worked with Kraft and it presented a big problem for me as I kept thinking I had to do something very grungy or distressed with it and it wasn't until I had sat there staring at it for about an hour and half before I just thought "S#d It!" and decided to just treat it the same as any other card stock. It does have a great versatility to it, because it may just be plain brown looking but it has a waxy, smooth side and a rough, natural side and I have been told you can colour on it with pencils really well, so that's something to try and look forward to doing!
So there you have it, this week's third card on my blog! and I still have a few more in hand to go on the ProMarkers Challenge blog too! Hope you like it and I REALLY hope MIC love it,
take care,
Andy
