Make it Crafty + Simply Betty Blog Hop!

Saturday, June 02, 2012

Hi everyone! Welcome to day two of the Make it Crafty and Simply Betty joint release blog hop! If you missed day one, don't forget to head back to either the Make it Crafty or Simply Betty blog to join in!


Here is a little bit of info about the hop:



Make it Crafty and Simply Betty Stamps are really excited to be bringing you the combined Hollywood Release!
Simply Betty Stamps has a range of characters from Betty Monroe, through to Action Chris the movie director!!
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?

Here is a close up of the coloured image - sorry it is so dark!. 


I used copics to colour it up and here are the colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R11
Hair: E21, E25, E29
Dress: YR000, YR02, YR07, E08, E15, E49

  31. OMG!!!!!
    WOWZERS!!!!
    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

  35. 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\\
