Bombshell June Sketch Challenge!

Can you believe it's June already- the year is whipping past but the daylight is lasting way longer, which is wonderful and June is my birthday month!!
Here is this month's sketch challenge from Kathi Rerek

Here's my take on the sketch using Sacred Heart Art, Banner Sayings and Lucky Bride:

I stamped the Banner Sayings blank banner and carefully positioned the Words 'Sacred' and 'Heart' from the Scared Heart Art set over the banner and stamped them place.

I used a cute little stamp from the Alter Skulls set

to create a border around the card:

 and to create a background for the Bride:

I used some of the very vintage 'Timeless' collection from Kaisercraft from Chrissy at Merly Impressions

and sweet little roses from 3DJean.

So pop over to the BOMBSHELL Blog to see the DT's take on Kathi's sketch and to take part in the sketch challenge.

Time to BLOG HOP!!!

New Bombshell girl Rachael challenged to create something with a wedding theme this month, so inspired by that and the triptych I made at the recent Paperartsy event I made:

 

Supplies:

Copics for colouring (I kept a limited palette so the three scenes would match one another)

Tim Holtz paper stack for the frames

Tim Holtz Tissue Tape for the frames

Grungeboard and crackleglaze for the embellies

Hope you enjoyed my take on Rachael's Wedding theme and now it's time to .......

My Inner Bombshell and Multi Masking Tutorial

Mary G has challenged the Bombshell team to come up with a Bombshell project that reveals their inner Bombshell!

As a Gemini I find I have two distinct sides to my personality and my crafting! Sometimes I'm neater and nicer and like to go with pretty, glittery and happy. Other times I'm inky, grungey, showing a dark sense of humour and loving skulls and tattoos!

So my Bombshell project is kinda my Gemini self!

I layered multiple Bombshell images by using masking. 

First I stamped the Bombshell Bride onto my card with Memento ink.

I stamped her again onto some scrap paper and cut her out to make a mask. A little repositionable Hermafix on the back of the mask and placed it over my stamped image:

Next I lined up where I wanted my second stamped image and stamped her over the mask:

Then I had my two main Bombshells 'Lucky Bride and Butterfly Queen' next to each other:

I stamped Butterfly Queen onto scrap paper and cut her out so I could make a mask for my second stamped image, I could then start stamping over the two Bombshells without making a mess of them. Here are both Bombshells, masked with some of the next layer of stamping going on:

As I progressed I added more masks so that I could over stamp more of the card:

Not all the masks were stamped on scrap and cut out- for smaller images, sometimes all I needed to use were strips of paper to protect an image below:

Once all the stamping was done and the masking removed the card looked like:

The final job was to colour the images in and add some extra images with 3d foam to make the pop off the card

I really enjoy this technique as you get a really dense layered look but you can still focus on the main subjects of the card. It's quite involved but i find it quite relaxing and my 'DH' commented on how quiet the colouring in kept me!!

I've used this technique before:

and if you leave the images uncoloured apart from sweeping with Distress inks it forms a cool background:

Happy Crafting!

Love,

Glittery Katie xxxx
