Passionate Paper Creations: Fighter Gwen

Hello again Crafty Friends,

This week as stated on my last post, at Passionate Paper Creations, Some Odd Girl is our sponsor. I love the versatile images found at Some Odd Girl and this one happens to be a digital stamp called Fighter Gwen. I love this one because it focuses on her strong pose and face.

Fighter Gwen

skin:

E50, E21, E53, R21, R30 and Polychromos Caput Mortuum

eyes:

 E29, E25, E97

lips:

R21, E04, Polychromos Caput Mortuum

head scarf:

 R27, R46 and R59

hair:

E79, E29, E25

jumpsuit:

B41, B97, B99

For the background I used 

Distress Ink: Mustard Seed

I chose these colors to look like the iconic 

"We Can Do It!" Poster by J. Howard Miller who created

it to boost worker morale during Word War II. During those

times women were encouraged to take wartime jobs in defense 

industries. 

I also used this quote I've seen many times before:

"Here’s to STRONG WOMEN.

May we know them.

May we be them.

May we raise them." 

To color the hair I colored in long strokes following the hair lines

drawn by the artist, 

for skin and headscarf I blended them as smooth as I could

and for the jumpsuit, to create the jean texture, I made hatch lines.
