Cameo Marci

This week in La La Land we had an inspiration photo of Vintage Cupcakes to play with. I went a little left of centre with this one and decided to use the cameos on top of the cupcake as my inspiration and I decided to do Marci as a cameo. I searched high and low for some hints and tips but couldn't find any so I took a deep breath and gave it a go! This is what I LOVE about challenging myself - I am REALLY happy with the result and would never have done this without the challenge!

Some tips if you want to try this yourself...

- stamp or print your image with pale lines, you want your shading to create the cameo effect. Some pale lines showing are OK as they add definition.

- start shading light and build up as you go, many areas here have been left white

- print off a cameo picture to help guide you with the look if you feel you need it, I had two different ones sitting by my side.

- make the background a deeper colour so it gives your image more POP and dimension

- Experiment and HAVE FUN!
