ARTastic January Challenge - Superhero

Gosh I've just seen how long it is since I posted - better up my game this year.
This is my take on the ARTastic challenge of some street art by Fintan Magee who is an Australian street artist known for his murals throughout Queensland and later in New South Wales.  
The little superheros inspired me and reminded me of the time my grandson was little and decided to dress up with all the different hats he had, he thought he was some type of superhero.


I had to leave a border because my cardstock buckled quite badly and wouldn't lay flat for the photo.
I've used a stencil with Faber Castell Whipped Spackle coloured with Lindy's Stamp Gang mist before using a background stamp to match the little man's jacket. There's some DustyAttic chipboard chevrons coloured with Brilliance ink, paint splatts with Lindy's and some gorgeous American Crafts Thickers alphas for the title.


Here's the photo that we used for inspiration.
