Kick Up Your Heels

More love for my Bombshell Stamps. I used Western Gal digi to make this card for the monthly sketch challenge. I love how it turned out! Isn' the paper perfect for this image? I found the boot button in a clearance bin at Michael's. There were cowboy hats and blue speckled heart buttons in the package too... perfect for Bomshell Stamps western images. IRL, the boot has some sparkle and bling...rhinestines on the spurs and glitter on the pink!


 I originally planned to use both boots for the front but it was too much and you couldn't see much of the backgound paper ( that I love!), so I used the other boot inside of the card.


There are still a few more days to play, so hop over to the Forum and join in the fun.

A Little Bombshell Love

My Bombshell Stamps have been  a little neglected lately so I've declared this weekend Bombshell Stamp Days. I plan to give them a little love! The February Challenge, Bitter Sweet Lurve, is being hosted by Glittery Kate. Here's Kate's challenge... I want to see what's in your hearts the good AND the bad...If you like sweet nothings- great but lets see a little bit of your dark side too!!! If you like the dark side of love then sweeten it a little! I used Bombshell Angel to show the YING and YANG of lurve!!!




This is my first attempt at making a telescoping circle card. There are a few tutorials on YouTube that are helpful. It wasn't hard once I decided on the size of my circles. I used my Nesties to cut everything out. Try one. There are a few days left to play in the challenge, so hop over to the Forum and join in.

Bombshell Blog Hop

It's time for Bombshell's Hump Day Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Cheryl's blog, you're in the right place. If not be sure to go back to the Bombshell's Blog and start at the beginning. You don't want to miss anything.

So what was this month's challenge? Ring in the New. What's that mean? Create a project that is something you haven't tried before - a new technique, using a new product, a new style....anything new to you!

A few months ago I was browsing the tutorials on Bombshell's Forum. I came across one by Nicole aka Perky Nihilist about making pins using lenses from eyeglasses. She called them Bombshell Punk Pins. I knew I wanted to try them sometime and this challenge gave me the the perfect opportunity. So here are my Bombshell Punk Pins.


I used Lotus Garden and Bombshell Angel. They were easy and inexpensive to make. Just buy reading glasses from the Dollar Store and pop out the lenses!

Now hop over to Kelli's blog and see what how she's ringing in the new.

Bombshell Sketch Challenge

It's time for Bombshell Stamps' monthly sketch challenge. Here's the sketch

1211.jpg

Here's my take on the sketch...

I flipped the sketch on it's side and used the three ornaments together as my center image panel.
I used Pirate's Life and Holiday Accessories for my image. She's got Flower Soft on her hat and glitter on her outfit. The DSP has glitter on it too so IRL she sparkles. The inside says "is you!".

Be sure to check the blog and see what the other Bombshell Girls have created to inspire you.

 Here's my take on the challenge.

The colors in the picture look a little more brown but IRL they are more orange. I used the flower in the Lotus Garden set.

Bombshell Monthly Challenge

Ms. November challenged us to "waste not" by creating a card using just the scraps we have on hand. I was in the mood to make a Christmas card so I looked through my stash and found some left over paper scraps and die cuts from a Holiday Scrapping Kit that I bought ages ago! Perfect! Here's my card...

 

When I saw the die cut "Santa Baby" I knew I wanted to use my new Bombshell sets Bombshell Angel and Holiday Accessories . Believe it or not I did not plan for the word "naughty" to end up where it did, but isn't it perfect? I paper pieced her outfit and hat and added some Flower Soft to her hat. I think I'll put my Christmas list inside and give this to Santa aka my hubby!

I'm also submitting my card in the Make Over Monday Challenge #3.

The Party's Over - Almost!

Bombshell Stamps Forum Relaunch Party is almost over. There were lots of games and challenges. I hope you got to play along with some of them. I combined two of the challenges, Mary's Howl at the Moon challenge and Kelli's recipe challenge and made this card

Both challenges were fun. Mary challenged us to use a moon on our project. I punched a large circle as a mask and sponged ink to make the background and moon. Then I punched tiny circles so the yellow cardstock would show through to make the stars. Kelli's recipe was to use 4 circles - the moon and stars, 3 ribbons - the silver cord, 2 Bombshell images - Hawaiian girl and the palm tree and1 tag- the silver Aloha.

If you got to play along, I hope you enjoyed the party.

Halloween Skelly Blog Hop

It's time for Bombshell Stamps' monthly blog hop. You should have arrived here from Meredith's blog If you didn't, head on over to the Bombshell Stamps Blog to start the hop at the very beginning. You don't want to miss any of the terrific projects!!
This month's theme is...Halloween of course, but with a twist! You had to include skeletons or a skull in/on it somewhere. You could use any of the numerous Bombshell Stamps skeletons, or you could create your own. You could also create a Day of the Dead project for this hop. We were encouraged to make a decoration as opposed to a card, but it wasn't mandatory. I've been making lots of Halloween cards so I decided to make a candle and a matching mini card.


I used the skull stamps from Pirate's Life and Speed Shop. I added some silver cord and some gems to give it some BLING! I embossed one of the skull stamps to make a tag. I used some DSP with silver skulls on it as a background for my mini card, added an embossed skull and Voila! I have a Halloween gift  ready for one of my ghoul friends!
Your next stop is Milo's blog. If you get lost, hop on back to Bombshell Stamps Blog for the blog hop list. Happy Halloween!

Birthday CARd

I saw this layout in the SU catalog and thought it would work well with one of Bombshell's classic car sets. I still have my friend Mary G's sets that I borrowed ( I promise to return them soon Mary!) so I made this card using Speed Shop by Bombshell Stamps. I decided to stamp the car on colored cardstock. I used SU's So Saffron. Then I shaded it using my Copic markers and blender pen.

This will make a great masculine card when I need it. I think I'll try using my Copics on some more colored cardstock. I liked how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Think Pink Challenge!

As Ms October I am hosting the monthly challenge for Bombshell Stamps. My challenge is in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is October. I challenge everyone to THINK PINK ! The challenge is to use the color PINK somewhere on your project. Your project can have a breast cancer theme, but it doesn’t have to. Just be sure to use PINK. Here's my challenge card. I used A Pirate's Life.


Be sure to check out the challenge and see all of the fantastic inspiration created by the Bombshell girls. You will be amazed! You can find the thread at the forum here. Hope you'll grab some PINK and  join the challenge.

Inky Vacation

Here in Maryland it's been a rainy, damp, dreary day. I was thinking how nice it would be to be in a warm tropical place, relaxing on the beach. Since that wasn't going to happen, I let my new Bombshell stamps take me there. I inked up Hawaiian Girl and made this card to cheer me up.


I also inked up A Pirates Life. Hmmm, a vacation with a pirate? "Captain" Jack Sparrow can "shiver me timbers" anytime!

Back to reality!! I used Bombshell's October sketch challenge for my card. If you'd like to play along, get the sketch and directions here. There's still time to join the sketch challenge. So ink up those Bombshell stamps and take a vacation. Where will you go?

Two New Bombshells & a Challenge

The style of Bombshell stamps is a change for me but I'm having so much fun  playing with my Bombshell Stamps! Here are two cards I made recently for BS challenges. The first is for the Ms. September's challenge to use the color red and something to represent speed. I used the dragster from the King of the Road set (Thanks Mary).


I used the Cuttlebug's Star and Moroccan EB folders to make the background using red and white to make it look like a checkered flag. I wanted the dragster  in black and white, but I wanted it to stand out so I embossed the image with black EB power then popped it up on the Nesties dies cuts and added the brads and twine.

My next card is for World Card Making Day. Kathi, Bombshell's DT captain, challenged us to stamp on patterned paper for  our project. I used the hibiscus stamp from Hawaiian Girl and stamped with Stazon ink on patterned vellum to create the background for my card...



I turned over the vellum before I attached it to the cardstock to give it a softer look. I colored the image with Copics. The frame for the image was made by layering two die cuts from the Lacy Circles Nesties. I added some pearl embellishments to finish it.

As Ms October I challenge everyone to THINK PINK in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Find all the details to the challenge here and check back on October 19 for some inspiration!

I'm Ms. October!

I'm so excited to be a guest designer for Bombshell Stamps for October. If you're not familiar with Bombshell Stamps, be sure to check them out. They have a selection of  hot rod classics, sugar skull, tattoo and pin up inspired stamps that I know are going to be fun to use. Here's a card I made with the Mermaid Treasure set for Bombshell's September sketch challenge.

I love this mermaid and had fun coloring her with my Copic Markers. I stamped the seaweed, treasure chest and fish on the water patterned paper with Classic Brown ink to give it the silhouette look. Then I cut out the mermaid and popped her up swimming in my underwater scene. Check back and see what else I create with Bombshell's unique stamps.

My Last VSN Challenge

I finally got a chance to upload my last VSN challenge card. The challenge was called Dusty Blues and it was a color challenge to use denim blue (or any blue), ivory and brown. I knew this was the perfect challenge for my cowboy digi.

I put him on the WANTED poster, a free digi from Bombshell Stamps. At first I was going to color him with my Copics, but decided he would look more authentic uncolored, so I only colored the letters. I sponged around him with Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip. I got the idea for the rope and star from my friend Jane Harrah. She had a similar embellishment on a card she designed for a shoebox swap that I attended. Thanks Jane!

Another Bombshell!

Loving my Bombshell set. Here's a card I made for Bombshell Stamps monthly challenge to be WILD! The challenge is to use some ANIMAL PRINT along with the lovely Bombshell girls. When I saw this pink leopard print DSP I knew it was perfect for a Bombshell Beauty. So here's my take on the challenge...


What a fun challenge! I have an anniversary coming up in August...42 years! I think this will be one of my hubby's cards.
