Happy and Aloha Friday! Well, it may not be a holiday for you, but it's a holiday for us here in Hawai`i, King Kamehameha Day.
Over at the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog, we have a fun challenge for you! For the FFF, we want you to practice your altering skills! We are calling this one . . . Body Snatchers! Sounds creepy, but actually really fun! Just take some of your favorite TGF stamps and switch around the heads and bodies to make a brand new character! Wanna see what I came up with?
I took the head of Amelia from the new OA-Ahoy set and the torso of Ballerina Anya. The inspiration to create another ballerina came from {HERE}. I previously created a card using Ballet Anya that was just released as a digi! When I first saw Ballet Anya, I knew my DD would luv her 'cause she's always twirling around like a pure ballerina. However, DD doesn't look like Ballet Anya, but more like Amelia from the OA-Ahoy set with pigtails. So guess what? I pulled a Body Snatchers on Ahoy Amelia and Ballerina Anya.
I'm gonna confess. From the get go, this card was a disaster. Yep, had the perfect idea . . . didn't quite go as I planned. I originally wanted to stamp and color my image with copics on Kraft, which I did. The hair got colored first and then I worked on the face. Well, I totally screwed up Amelia's cheeks! I don't know what's wrong with me, but her cheeks weren't proportional. What to do? I didn't want to toss the image . . . I luv'd how the hair came out and didn't want to redo the hair again (out of laziness and NO time!). I decided to cut the face away from the hair and start again. Voila! Problem solved and cheeks on this second image are way better!
Here's a close up of Amelia Ballerina! :)
The FFF challenges runs until Thursday, entries are due by 12 PM CST. The winner will receive a free single TGF stamp of choice! Please upload your challenge cards to TGF Galleria> Farm Fresh Challenges 2011> Farm Fresh Fridays 2011> Body Snatchers. Good luck!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
