The theme for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "Men Only". I racked my brain on this one, and got to thinking about classic male portraits through history. I finally settled on Micheangelo's undiscovered masterpiece "Jonah Lisa" as my inspiration, and here is my version of it :)
Though it looks flat in this photo, the frame is actually wood and is about 3/4 of an inch deep. I covered it in copper metal which I had embossed with the Cuttlebug Clockworks folder. "Jonah" is a Tim Holtz stamp coloured with Promarkers and the bowler had and moustache were hand-drawn by yours truly, then cut out and fixed in place. Quite the jaunty fellow, dontcha think? lol
Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)
