From Screen to Scrap July

This month the girls at From Screen 2 Scrap have picked a great movie poster as inspiration.


To make things even more exciting they also have added crtiteria:
 
For an extra 6 bonus points :)

1) Use 4 x colorful Arrows = 1 pt
2) Use  Hearts = 2 pts
3) Use 1/2 or 1/4 of a face from a photo = 3 pts

I really liked this poster. I have a thing about vintage prints so I was thrilled to see a poster like this used as inspiration. Here's my take on the challenge. Hope you enjoy!


Ready for some close ups?!
Mostly I used the great colour combo as my inspiration. The combination of blue, lime and red on the white background was very 60's and very delicious! I managed to get the 4 arrows and hearts in too! As for the 1/4 face thingy well that was easy because it should also be noted that these photos have NOT been cropped. Seriously my arms are very short and this is how all my selfies look! Oh actually thats not true sometimes I also do that thing where I pull my face back a bit further so all you see is double chin! Noice - NOT!

Hope you enjoyed!

    Yes, I do not like the double chin selfies. haha
    I like your colour combo. All the arrows really create movement and draw your eyes.

    Great work, I like how you used the colors from the poster, the black and white photos look fantastic against the color combo.
