Its friday again, which means its DARE DAY !
This week the dare was set by the talented Jo and she has titled it SUPERHEROES.
"I would like to challenge you to make a hero themed card. It could be a card for the Hero in your life or a Superhero themed card.... "
Firstly I went to Tesco and brought a spiderman comic cos it had 3 fabby free stamps with it. Then i got it home, realised the stamps weren't as fabby as they looked. In fact what was supposed to be spider man actually looked like a big headed alien. So I gave the comic to W's nephew and started again.
W came up with the idea of searching the net for a superhero comic strip (note: do not at any cost type the word "strip" into google images) . Finally a great site for kid's colouring pages were found and we found a great piccy of superman. I printed it out and sat very carefully colouring it, (stayed inside the lines and everything!). I then outlined the whole picture with a black zig marker to give it a comic type feel.
I matted the coloured image onto a piece of Karen Foster patterned paper free with Scrapbook Inspirations Magazine. Using coloured pencils I roughly carried on the design onto the area surrounding superman, added the words SUPERDAD and HERO and mounted the whole lot on a blank a6 card. Et Voila, a superhero card for a super dad!
