Yellow well Pink Rose of Texas!

A little late to the party due to technical difficulties but here's my go at Jennie's cool 'Bingo Card' challenge. I chose Red, Roses and Pins

This is my debut of the no lines colouring technique where you use a plae ink instead of trad black to stamp your image in. I did have a little go before but decided to through my lot in and do Retro Cowgirl AND the roses in this style!
Well I did OK I think although I it's something which I feel I need to practise, to become more comfortable with- it's definitely different from using black ink to stamp with!
I relied on the darker shading to create an outline, something which was tricky with the roses as there are so many edges on a rose petal!!
I went a bundle on Bombshell Stamps too as I used the cowgirl from Retro Cowgirl, the poem and sentiment from Rose's Portrait, the roses and scroll decoration from Dead Necessities , a banner from Banner Sayings , and a  swallow from Love and Luck!
I created a decorative pin for the card using a pin (!) and some pearls glued on with Glossy AccentsI also broke out my new Spellbinder Nestabilities, Floral Ovals which are so perty!!
Thanks to Jennie for the ACE May challenge I loved it!
Happy Crafting everyone!!

February Hump Day Hop: Leap into Action!

It's time to HOP again Bombshells and Alison our Blog Hop Captain has a once in a Leap Year project for us:
It's February! And, it's a leap year! What's more, is our Hump Day Hop happens to fall on February 29th, so of course I just had to challenge us to do something with the word "leap" in it! So what's the challenge? "Leap into Action!" What's it mean? I want you to make your Bombshells heroes. Now think about it...think about all of the different types of heroes there are. Firemen, policemen, super heroes, and advocates. Let me break down some fun ideas for you. 

-Use the "To the Rescue Bombshell" digis which feature firefighter, police woman and nurse costumes. All of these would work!
-Use Retro Cowgirl for some bull-slingin' action! Have your cowgirl save the day!
-Dress up any of your Bombshells like superheroes! Throw a cape and mask on 'em and help them beat the bad guys!
-Use your Bombshells as advocates for a group. For example, dress your Bombshell up in pink and make a breast cancer awareness card
-You can even go completely opposite of the challenge, and use "Rise & Shine." Make up a funny quote about not leaping or going anywhere.

Here's my project:

Introducing REVENGE SQUAD!!!!

Bombshell Hump Day HOP!!!

It's Bombshells HUMP day Blog hop for January 2012!!
Here is our Blog Hop Captain *salutes* Alison with your challenge...
 
"Greetings and Happy 2012! It's time to find out what the January Hump Day Hop will be! And, since it's a new year, I figured, what better challenge than to actually "Try Something New?" Make anything you want, as long as there is something "new" for you in it. Never made jewelry before? Give it a go! Never attempted a tri-fold card? Now is the perfect time! Perhaps you've never used pink with your Bombshells....why not experiment? Wow us with your experimentation! "

 Here's my project:

 

I created a 7x5" canvas representing the Story of America!

The challenge I set myself was to use stamped Bombshell images and NOT COLOUR them!!!! *gasps*

The second challenge I set myself (I was in an experimental frame of mind!) was to use clear shrink plastic for the first time:

I stamped Anchor Mermaid onto the shrink plastic and created a little hanging charm for my canvas!

I hope you like my take on Alison's Challenge!

Now here's the BLOG Roll so why not hop along to the next blog and see what Kathi has come up with!! Remember to play along via our BOMBSHELL BLOG for the chance to win lovely Bombshell goodies!!!

Bombshell Time

Here's a card I made from a Sketch by Anam Stubbington who launched her Sketches 4 Cards App for the iPhone- how cool is THAT idea- Inspiration on the Go?!

I used the multi masking and stamping technique that I used HERE but toned down the effect by using fewer stamps and a lighter colour (Walnut Distress Ink)

Happy Crafting!!

Bombshell DT Girls FIGHTING.......

....for your vote!!!
The Bombshell DT girls were challenged to design a project using the very first set of Bombshell Stamps they ever owned and it's up to YOU to vote for your favourite HERE!!!

I have a fab lady here in England, 3dJean who is dead arty and luckily runs her own lil online shop.
One day she advertised that she had some new stamps in stock 'Bombshells'.
Well I've never been a cutesy stamps girl- no bunnies in bonnets for me, so when I saw the Bombshells i was in LOVE!!!
This was December 2008 and I asked my lovely 'DH' if he could possible get me a set for Chrissy that year.
That was how I came to own Retro Cowgirls  

I love my Bombshell Stamps and was so excited to be chosen as a Guest DT member in 2009 and then a full time member later that year!

I work for a gorgeous boss who loves tattoo art and caters to those of us who want something MORE than cute for our cards and crafts!
I am part of a team with the most talented bunch of wenches in the crafting hemisphere- I tell you they scare me into trying harder and harder!!!  

My card is a little kitsch, she's an old fashioned cowgirl working down on the farm in her plaid yet still looking drop-dead gorgeous and ready to kick a lil butt with those sexy boots!!!

So show your love for the Bombshells and vote for the one that tickles your fancy most!!


Love GlitteryKatie
