12 Days day 10 and Bombshell Pin-Up challenge

Hello Lovelies, today I have for you an ornament I made using this months Muse Monday stamp set PinStripes.  I had so much fun using that set this month!  Check out the Bombshell Blog to see what other projects the other bombshells and I have made using that set this month!!!

Today we are plaing along with this month's Pin-Up and she has challenged us to make an ornament using our bombshell stamps!  

Using one image from pinstripes set and embossing ink I stamped two circle(ish) shapes on black cardstock and embossed with black... Then I took my pewter and pearl perfect pearls and a water brush and colored them... That tutorial is on the sidebar in the tutorials section on the Bombshell blog!

Then you attach them so that they are overlapping each other!

Even my bow is made from the same image as the wreath and two of the smaller pinstripe images!  Hope you enjoy!!!

 

 

Remember to leave me some love and to visit the other bloggers and leave them love for your chance to win that $100 shopping spree!!!

Day 30 of 31

Hello Lovelies, one more day to go!!!  Are you excited?  Are you sad?  I don't know what I am either...both I would say!!!!  Today I have for you a 4x4 wooden canvas.  I saw this stamp at Michael's and had to get it because I knew it would be gone quickly... I was right because I went back two days later to get another for a friend and they were out....that sucked!!!  Anyway I knew I would use it a lot and I did...Not only for this project but for several others as well!!! 

So I painted the wooden canvas black and stamped with versamark then went at it with silver perfect pearls and there you have it.... Simple yet very elegant and cool looking....Hey by the way did you know that to make sure perfect pearls doesn't smear you have to spray it with water?????   I didn't until recently, go figure!!!  Oh well good to know I can still learn!

Isn't that a cool stamp!!!

The texture is me being impatient....I couldn't wait for the paint to dry on it's own so I took my heat gun to it and look little bubbles, which is ok with me, but some people may not like it.

 

Remember to leave some love and the blog roll is on the sidebar!!!

I will make you HURT!!

This is a card I made for the Smeared and Smudged Rock-n-Rolla Challenge for April. This months challenge was the song Hurt by Johnny Cash! I love Johnny Cash so this was a perfect challenge for me! The challenge is to get inspiration in any way, shape, or form from the video and roll with it! When I think of Mr. Cash I think of black as he was the Man in black. Watching the video, you see all these bronze statues of him and other things as well! So this is what I came up with for the challenge. I used the Chicks Dig Guns stamp set(which I love) from Smeared Ink. Also used for this card are SU cardstock, Ranger products Perfect Pearls, Versamark, and Matte finish spray.

To view the video and complete detail of the challenge please go here. Hurry though, the challenge ends April 30th! Also if you are looking for a place to display and or learn how to use vintage, alternative, or gothic art rubber stamping then the Smeared and Smudged Ning group is the place for you! We would love to have you come over and join! All art types accepted!!!

Enjoy!

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

It's that time again my lovlies, Bombshell Blog Hop time, here is what our lovely Inky Button has to say about the first Bombshell Blog Hop of the Year!

"We all have our own home remedies...a pinch of this, with a dash of that and gargle. *giggle Well, it's time to put your thinkin' caps on, and ALTER an item you have laying around. That's right...don't be content with that over the counter crafting stuff...take something you have and give it a little bit of TLC; a pinch of this glitter and a splash of that alcohol ink. (Hopefully you won't have to gargle....*wink) Let your imaginations run wild as you use your Bombshells to breathe new life into an otherwise boring item.

So for my project I decided to use an old cork board I had lying around. I had picked this up from the dollar store a while ago knowing I wanted to do something with it and this blog hop was the perfect opportunity. When I pulled it out of the box of never ending things to alter! LOL It had a crappy blue band around it that was held on with hot glue that was coming off so I just helped it along and ripped it all the way off!!:) I used Butterfly Queen and Bombshell Angel stamp sets. Chipboard butterflies with perfect pearls(thanks to my son who said it needed a little more sumtin!!!) and flowers that I have had forever! The ribbon is from SU. I colored my Angel and the butterflies with Copic markers!

Now that you have checked out my project for the hop head on over to these other lovely blogs and keep on hoppin!!!!!!

Day 15... Watercolor Challenge Day

Since today is Thursday, Terra and I have decided to coordinate our projects to offer you a challenge. Today's challenge is WATERCOLORING! You can watercolor a picture, a background, one little spot, anything you want as long a you watercolor!!! Remember when you participate in our challenges on Monday's and Thursday's, you get more entires into the drawing for the blog candy!

In my project I used a Bombshell image, but decided that I wanted to make it a spooky pirate ship instead of a colorful sailing ship. I used SU watercolor pencils and colored the whole picture, adding perfect pearls in spots to give it a little shimmer. The patterned paper is some that i got from Michael's eons ago. Those who know me well know that I cannot walk out of any craft store without patterned paper, no matter what!!! It hurts when I have to leave a store without my paper fix!! LOL
