Get your geek on!!!


I needed to make a card for teenage boy this week and they are always quite tricky but then I saw this kenny k image and thought it was quite glee (boy in question is at theatre school) so I went with it.  I decided to push my comfort zone further by using a colour challenge to set the colour theme and this weeks's Colour Throwdown gave me some lovely bright colours http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/color-throwdown-186.html

I'm also entering it into this weeks Kenny K's Krafty Girlz challenge which is April Fool - an image which makes you smile and this one certainly does!  http://kennykkraftygirlzchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/april-fool.html


I coloured the image with copics, layered onto dp to match the colours from the challenge then made a greeting in word and created a triple layer ribbon from it.  Finished simply with a brad and a few stars cut with a MFT dynamics die.  The final touch was some glaze on the glasses and some glitter on the mirror ball...

Geek Chique nes pas?
