Metal Work!

I love working with metal and stamps!

Here is my take on Ms. May's cool challenge which was to use: the colors - Grey & Jade, Gold, Silver, White and the textures - Dry Embossing, Scrolls, Scallops, Satin Ribbons, Metallic, Glitter.

I managed to use: metal, dry embossing, satin ribbons,scrolls, silver, jade and white!

First I covered my tag in foil tape and embossed around the edges and pressed a pencil into to to form rivet holes so it looked like metal plates fixed together.
I painted jade paint all over it, left it for a couple of minutes then wiped it over to remove a lot of the paint.
When the jade paint was dry I added a spritz of white paint to calm the jade down.

For the motorbike I stamped Live to Ride onto a square piece of foil with Staz-on ink then I used an embossing tool to go around the stamped image.
When I had embossed around the image I ran a textured wheel tool around the edges of the foil to give it a machined look.
To give an oiled look I wiped Staz-on around the edges of the foil square and the jade tag!
I added a couple of Tim Holtz Idea-Ology gears and tags to the tag and coloured some satin ribbon with Jade and silver paint and I was done!
Thanks to Marnie for a great challenge!

Happy Crafting!

It's the BOMBSHELL June Blog HOP!!!!!!

BOY TOY:

I used:
Basic Grey Basics Craft
Tim Holtz Texture Fades (Patchwork)
Distress Ink
7 Gypsies Gaffer Tape
Bombshell Live to Ride Stamps
Copics

First chance to win is with Kas's Boy Toy Challenge

Time for being hot...it's summer!
So what's the deal with a "Boy Toy" bloghop.
Well, it's dedicated to the men in our lives.
Doesn't have to be a boyfriend or husband..... maybe a soldier, a father, or just a masculine theme or card.

Bombshell stamps have always been great for "manly" things, but now more than ever.
Just think about the new digi clothes stamps for the Bombshell Angel. The policeman, fireman, etc... they are GREAT for sending out that perfect card.
AND MAN...the new motorcycle stamps !!!
Perhaps your project will just use masculine colors

Memories of Rose

I used:
Cosmo Cricket paper
Bombshell Rose's Portrait Stamps
Grungepaper and Distress Inks for the 3d roses
Sizzix Tattered Floral dies (for the roses)
Tim Holtz idea-ology frame

The SECOND way to win is with Miss June's (Cajunstampingqueen) special challenge the Memory Lane Challenge.

Hello My Lovlies! I am the Guest Designer and challenge hostess for the month of June! I've got a special challenge lined up for this month and I hope everyone decides to play along. I have decided to alter a box this month, a Memory Box.

We all at some point in time have received little notes from the kids or hubby or favorite neice/nephew that we couldn't bear to part with. Or that little drawing that came home from school, the first art project that you still don't really know what it is but you love it all the same...that special something from someone important to you. I have so many of those things from my kids that I want to display and i am running out of room to do so, sooooooo I decided to make a box for them. Well several boxes actually. This is the one I started with....my children love Bombshell stamps, they are 15 and 11....anyway they each got to choose which set represented them the most(in their opinions) and I went from there. I have added paint, decorative paper, pictures, I even used the first quitar string we had to replace on my daughters guitar and the beads my son painted for me from his favorite book series last month!!!

And thirdly don't forget Kathi's June Sketch challenge.

As you can see I've 'double dipped by using Kathi's sketch for my BOY TOY card!!


So now it's time to HOP!!!!!
