Today, customers and Hambo's Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict movie titles. Our challenge was to use a favorite movie or just one that was fun to design. Here's my card/collage. Can you guess my film title?
The 1956 film, Lust for Life, starring Kirk Douglas.
I have been eager to use Hambo's digi stamp called "Painter" which you can find at www.hambostamps.com/digishop/people/painter/ .
I love the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. The movie of his life is definitely not a happy film but it's inspiring! Kirk Douglas did an amazing acting job and I found it so interesting to see how Van Gogh developed from drawing to painting. Van Gogh suffered from mental illness and self-doubt throughout his troubled life. He never knew the joy his paintings have brought to so many people. I was thrilled to find this sentiment stamp (Hampton) which expresses my admiration perfectly!
I colored the Hambo Painter image and drew my little version of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" on the "canvas" with a combo of Copics and Marvy LePlume markers. My main goal/challenge with the collage was to keep the Hambo image as focal point. I distressed the elements in the background so they would recede and the focal point would be prominent.
Card details:
Copic, Marvy LePlume markers
Stickles
Star stickers
Sunflower paper: K&Company
Other background paper: Shutterstock.com
EK Success border punch
Cuttlebug Traffic Jam embossing folder
Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Orange Marmalade
Corner stamp: Ink-Adink-Ado
Sentiment Stam: Hampton Arts
I love making collages. I needed a little more space, so I made a bigger size card than usual.

I saw your message on FB about my golfer card and tried to answer you there but my post wouldn't go through, they are having some technical problems. Here's a link to my blog post so you have the links for the digi stamp: http://jans-gonestampin.blogspot.com/2011/05/wax-fruit-company-golfer.html
