Kenny K Skateboarder - something a little different!

The challenge at Through the Purple Haze this week is 'Funky' & the sponsor is Kenny K. I love Kenny K's images & there are so many of his that fit the 'funky' category that it was hard to choose.

I was lucky enough to win Airborne a while ago & decided he fitted the bill perfectly! For some reason I came up with the idea of him jumping through some stars & making a really 3D Card (you know how my brain works - it never goes for the obvious!). It was a bit of a challenge but with the help of you trusty Cougar electronic machine I made it work. I made all of the base with stars designed in Inkscape, then layered them up and cut out and coloured Airborne. with my Promarkers.

At an angle you get a bit more of an idea of the angle at which he's jumping out of the card!

From above you can see how I've built dimension in with foam pads between each of the stars.

I made a stand at the back to help keep the stars standing upright.

I used a card stack from Lidl to make the stars and some silver mirri card on the base to add impact.
