Simply Betty Sketch Challenge!
Hey all you challenge fans! Here's one for you: the Simply Betty Stamps blog is hosting a sketch challenge that will run through July 29th (11:59pm Eastern time). That's right... about three weeks, so there is PLENTY of time for you to try this baby out:
And guess what the prize is for winning this challenge? One lucky winner will get to be a Guest Designer for Simply Betty Stamps in August! Guest Designer means FREE images to play with... helloooo... TOTALLY worth trying out the sketch, no?!
As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to use Max & Li-Li! Doesn't Max look like he wants to pet Li-Li? Surely he wouldn't bite... well... maybe. Since I printed these digi's prior to sizing them properly, I needed to figure out a way to make it work. Hellooooooo forced perspective :) You are my friend. Doesn't it look like Max is standing in the background with Li-Li up front? Simply by using a trapezoid instead of a rectangle. Me likey.
Had I kept the rectangle shape, Li-Li would have appeared to be some crazy huge monstrous kitty... not that it would be a BAD thing :)
And did her eyes not come out freakin' awesome? And what about her texture? I know! Copic blending solution, you are my friend, too :) A scrap of an old washcloth and some solution, and Li-Li is all textured up.
