Make it Crafty has a range of background scenes perfect to switch and match with your famous characters!!
Here is my movie project featuring the simple stunning Movie Gala Betty, being filmed by Action Chris at the Hollywood Studio Set. I have tried to inject a bit of theatre into my card with the red velvet curtain and the striking colours! :) I had issues photographing this..it was so dark and blurry!! So hope it is ok :) I must say it is hard to photograph black! Does anyone have any tips?

Stunning sweetie!!!
Love this so very very much!!!
One thing that I find when photographing black is to not take the pictures against bright white.. it stops the glare - use a grey or a blue if you have that in A3 size card.. it works okay for me.. still not easy but easier..xx
Beautifully done... TFS
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Alyce. For any movie buff this would be the ultimate card. Gorgeous colouring and all the scenes are fab. Love the curtain :). Hugs, Mette
ReplyDeleteOMG...what a FABULOUS card! I love your coloring and the way you did that curtain is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning. Love the use of the images together and the framing is perfect.
ReplyDeletexx
You go girl!! This coloring absolutely rocks and love the color you went with for her dress. I think the lighting on the pic came through fine on my screen. The only suggest I could offer, is to take your pics in the RAW format (you can save then to jpeg or png)...this will give you a little bit more control over the brightness\\
ReplyDeleteShelby
