Warhol Inspired Pop Art Card!!

Hey Everyone!! I hope your day is off to a great start! For today's post, I have a unique style of card I created for the Jiggery Makery blog. 

Adele has been working on some vintage inspired images for the Jiggery Makery Etsy shop and for this project I used the beautiful "Penelope" digi.

I will be featuring another vintage digi on my blog next week, so stay tuned for that.

This card is a lot different color wise, then what I normally do and the inspiration came from hubby's suggestion.

Originally, I wanted to do a series of black and white photos with the image in full color.

When I told hubby of my idea, he suggested I do a pop art theme ala Warhol.

So after researching his pop art prints, I came across his Marilyn Monroe one.

I thought the colors would work with the alcohol markers I had.

So after printing the full image, I went back to crop the image and made a few copies of just her face.

Hubby then worked his computer skills magic to enlarge the images, add texture to the backgrounds and stack them.

In the end, I think the card turned out nice but I'll let you decide that for yourself.

Here's the pic for you to check out:

I used white card stock for the card base to create an A2 size card.

The pop art panel measures, 3 1/4 x 5 1/4" an I used my alcohol markers to color it in.

I used the Marilyn Monroe print to choose the colors for this image.

Here's a quick rundown:

-Top Left Panel- IB1, Y08, Rambunctious Red, Dusky Pink

-Bottom Left Panel- Fandango Pink, LY2, Blue Skies Blue, Blush

-Top Right Panel- Rambunctious Red, Y08, Summer Melon, IB1, Blue Skies Blue, Blush, R20

-Bottom Right Panel- IB1, Blue Skies Blue, R20, Y08, 

I then went in with my fine tip black marker to add shading to the face, hair and neckline.

With the coloring complete, I fussy cut the panel out and backed it on a sheet of black and then white card stocks.

I used my ATG gun to adhere it to the card base.

With the background complete, I set to work on the image.

I printed the full image onto a sheet of white card stock and used my alcohol markers to color her in.

Here's the rundown of the colors I used:

-Skin_ Blush, Dusky Pink, R20

-Hair- Tan, Burnt Sienna, Cinnamon

_-Shoes- C01, C03

For the dress, I used a sheet of Prima, "Something Blue" paper to paper piece the dress onto the image.

I added some shading with my C01 and C03 markers.

I used my white gel pen to emphasize the polka dot pattern and added some lace trim along the bottom.

I used Stickles to add some shimmer to the dress and a pink pearl on the waistline.

I then fussy cut her out and used foam tape to attach her to the card.

And voila!! Card complete!!

I hope you enjoyed this project for today!!

This card is the 200th project I have posted on my blog!

I never thought that I would even reach 200 posts, let alone still be at this blogging thing.

I am grateful to my family for putting up with my blogging schedule.

Well with that said, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment, and share my work.
