I am so excited to share with you some wonderful news! I was asked to be a guest designer this week at Cinema Saturday Challenge to create a card using the inspiration movie "To Kill A Mockingbird".
I must say I was giddy like a little school girl to learn I had been chosen because of the card I submitted for the High School Musical challenge. But the pressure was on. I took on my assignment like an undercover agent. Working covertly under cover of darkness so as not to reveal the secret identity of the movie before it's unveiling. How do these design team members do it? I would break out in a cold sweat worrying that my post would go live before it was supposed to and let everyone know the movie early! Oh the pressure!!
But alas, let me tell you about my card. I immediately thought of the scales of justice when I thought of this movie. I began searching the internet for images and then came across this image of blindfolded Lady Justice. It was haunting to me and I knew I had to use it. I also searched for an image of the Declaration of Independence to use as a backdrop since freedom and justice go hand in hand. Here's my card.
When printing the image, my printer made a hazy print with grainy lines running through it. Just my luck! But I colored the image black, sponged Versamark on it and embossed it in black. I actually love the silhouette image of Lady Justice over the backdrop of the Declaration of Independence.
But can I be honest here? We're all friends right? Cutting out those teeny tiny chains on the scales of justice with an Exact-o knife nearly drove me to the brink of insanity. Do you think I could get a lawyer like Gregory Peck to defend me?
Oh and please no one tell me how easy it would have been to photoshop the image in. Where is the scrapbooking in that? Ha! Thank you all for stopping by and be sure to play along with this fun challenge! And be sure to check by with Ann, the other guest designer this week as she has some blog candy for you!
