Lady GaGa Video Inspiration Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers

28 GaGa Spotlight

I didn’t think I was going to be able to post this. Sunday my PC decided to die on me and it took me two days to fix it. Good job I understand what goes on inside the case or I would have had an expensive repair job on my hands. Anyhow finally got a working pc again.

Boy this one was fun. Our illustrious leader at Crafty Cardmakers came up with the idea of taking inspiration from a music video and she decided to enter the ever so slightly mad world of Lady GaGa and her Bad Romance Video. I have to tell you all, I have had that blinkin song going round and round in my head for days now. Can’t get rid of it, and then on Saturday night X-Factor had the most amazingly bad version of it by a wanabee group called Jahm! If you don’t watch this program you have no idea what you are missing with the audition stage. I am regularly in fits of laughter at how bad some people can be.

Anyhow to the challenge. So the idea is to use any part of the video to take inspiration for your project. I watched it through twice hoping for some purple, but sadly there was none. So I went for the red section for a colour, and the image I chose I thought went with the section of video where Lady G is clearly up for auction! Saucy or what. Anyhow Kenny K’s glorious digital images are perfect for this type of thing as he is racy and edgy and ‘out there’.

However, there is a reason I am not keen on red, it’s so darned difficult to match the tones, which can be widely different and actually look like they are clashing if you are not careful. Having had two attempts at colouring her in, in desperation I went back to the printing stage and filled her skirt section in digitally first and then printed her. The rest was coloured with a combination of prismas, promarkers and a silver gel pen for the chain.

The grid in the background was meant to represent the mesh in parts of the video, and the black mirri at the back was for the bling area, as was the red mirri forming the grid and scrolly bits. The papers came from some old sizzix books. I added a shrink plastic corset for an embellishment.

  14. Fabulous Lady Gaga themed card Lin...Loved the thought behind, I agree about the colour red, a mare to get the tones right. Wish I was a little better with the PC, just about managing to do a few things, not bad really though as this time last year I had only used the PC to look on ebay...
    Gorgeous card!!!
