Masterpiece

Welcome back to the blog and another Dr.Digi friday! And I went a bit off-piste today and not only coloured on white card, but also made a digital background. I know, I must be sick;)

This is Pablo the Painter. He may produce works that are not entirely genuine. I don't think Picasso is going to worry too much about his copy of the Portrait of Dora Maar though!

So I swiped some famous paintings from google image search and made a gallery background for Pablo. I superimposed Pablo to make sure I was colouring him and the floor the correct size.

Here is the digistamp as in the shop (there are two versions, the other has a blank canvas):

And here is my version:

Then I coloured just Pablo and the floor on plain white card using polychromo pencils. Afterwards I slowly and painfully cut it out. (lol!)

I then re-edged some of the black outline of the stamp so it didn't get so lost in the background.

Finally I matted and layered it onto black card and then a white 18x18cm card blank. I made a little sentiment banner using Mister Sirloin font and attached it over the floor. Was a bit grumpy about covering that much beautifully coloured woodwork though, lol!

Thanks for joining me today! Why not pop to the Dr.Digi shop and see what inspires your to be artistic?

CUP

I have spent a bit of time creating a new Crafts U Print Gallery for my blog. Sometimes when I am struggling for new ideas, or want something straightforward in a kit format, I pop there and buy a few  projects.

CUP Gallery!

I always felt like using kits was a bit like cheating but tbh, they take a fair amount of time to make up, I often fully customise them so they fulfil my remit a bit better and sometimes I'm just paying for the artwork to use in my own way. 

So perhaps not as much cheating as up-cycling?

On CUP I struggle to find projects that suit my tastes, and may be like me you have been overwhelmed by the choice and difficulty in finding things you really like? Perhaps you will spot something in the gallery you like and it'll save you some time browsing on CUP, where I promise you, there are lots of nice things,  you just have to find them!
