The challenge this Friday over at Daring Cardmakers is to create a card inspired by the street artist Banksy. As I really like Banksy I thought this would be an easy one, but then when I tried to think of what pieces would translate to a card then it became a bit tricky! After flicking through a book of his work, this image made me think of the ‘Betsy’ stamp I have and I thought she’d work well to recreate this image.
I stamped her in black soot distress ink, then used a waterbrush to drag some of the colour to shade her. The heart balloon is stamped in red brick distress ink, and I used the waterbrush to add a little red to the bows on her shoes. The text stamp is a Papertrey one, and I stamped it in ‘London Fog’ Memento ink as I thought black would be a bit harsh and might detract from the little girl image.
Pop over to the Daring Cardmakers blog to see the wonderful cards the rest of the design team have come up with – there’s some fabulous interpretations!
