Baby Gangstaz Zeke

Hello folks.  We have another challenge at One Stitch At A Time so how about popping over to see all the fabulous creations by the design team.

Challenge #203

Theme 'For a Boy'

Our sponsor this week is the StitchyBear Digital Outlet with a prize of $9 to spend in the store.  To win this prize you MUST use a digi from the StitchyBear Digital Outlet.  A second prize of $3 to spend in the StitchyBear Digital Outlet will be given to an entrant who does not use a SB product.

This week I have worked with the fun image Baby Gangstaz Zeke by Rheeces Scrap Pieces.  Here I am out of my box again - For a Boy - how could I use this digi.  I can't think of a single bloke in my family I could make something for with this digi, either they were too old or would only approve of Spiderman (am I right Jay <g).  Not stuck, if I add the word tom in front of boy that that could well apply to me so I think for once I will make something for myself.  Yes - an idea, I will make a door hanger for my craft room saying as I don't have any indication from the outside of the room as to what is happening behind the closed door.  While in the UK I had bought a packed of pre cut door hangers just in case they would come in handy for a project. I have to admit, it feels a bit like cheating as I usually cut my own items but hay ho never mind.

 Next I covered the pre cut door hanger with a shiny purply brown paper I have had for a while and cut the area where the hole is along with the slit at the top.

Now the fun starts, I really felt like being a mucky pup today so out came the acrylic paints - yummy :) :) :) 

 

I blobbed the paint onto the covered door hanger and then . . . . 

got my fingers really dirty with some finger smudging.  This was one occasion when I found it very hard to stop what I was doing but I had to or else it would have all become one colour hahahaha

While the background was drying I set to colouring the digi with Promarkers.  At some point I will remember to take a picture of the finished digi before I attach it to the project.  Here is a cropped image of the coloured digi.

 Finally I used white peel off stickers for the text (yes my craft room looks like an environmentally hazardous zone :) :) :) If I was brave enough I would take a photo of it to share with you, I could tidy it up before hand but then I wouldn't be able to find anything :)  The digi was attached with foam tape for added dimension.

And here it is hanging on my craft room door :)
