Au Revoir

Sadly, after six wonderful years, it's time for me to step down as Bombshell Stamps' Design Team Captain. 

It has been my privilege and honor to work with so many creative, dedicated, loyal, warm hearted, funny, and dependable women on this team. It's been particularly gratifying to watch these women, my Bombshell Girls and Pin-Ups, grow and develop their artistry and confidence. I thank you and salute you all.

Shannon, it has been a pleasure to work with you and use your wonderful images. Thank you to you as well.

Au revoir and smooth sailing!

A little reminder - Ms. Septembers Bombshell Challenge

Hi there guys. Here is a reminder to partake in this months Ms. September Bombshell Challenge which is polka dots and Glitter - SO MUCH GLITTER. (Yes I LOVE that Target commercial. LOVE).

My take on this was made with the beautiful Peek a Boo Geisha.  I put her on polka dot paper  after coloring her and cutting her out. I then added with gold stickles the additional polka dots on the umbrella. This adds the glitter to the polka dots. :-)

I added some lovely embellishments after putting the card together to match the golden colors. Little tea cup with my take on a tea leaf (lol) and flying bird.

I hope that you all take a chance to play with the Bombshell Challenge this month. We also have a sketch challenge going on too. Take some time and play along.

Fabulous Friday Tutorial - Versa Pan Technique

Good Morning,  Marnie here with a tutorial using Pan Pastels and Versamark Ink.  I love how versatile the Pan Pastels are and how vibrant the color.  For this tutorial I am using the Bombshell Stamp Sets Holiday Accessories and Tattoo Backgrounds.  I adore the Halloween images in both of these.  I also have some papers to match my pastels and a soft brush.

First stamp the spider web from Tattoo Backgrounds onto white with Versamark Ink.

Gently brush the Pastel over the web and it will magically appear.

Isn't it super cool looking?  With a tissue or soft cloth brush the excess chalk off.

Next stamp the spider from the Tattoo Backgrounds on top of the Web and brush the pastels over it.

I love how it pops up!  Don't forget to brush away the excess with a soft cloth or tissue.

For the background stamp the bats from Holiday Accessories onto the background paper.  And brush the pastels over it.  Brush away the excess pastels again.  You can set your pastels with a fixative.  Now cut the pieces and layer onto the card.

Happy Friday Thank you for stopping by to check out the tutorial.

To play, you need to use at least 3 of the colors from the palette (the more the merrier, though!), and you can only use black, white, and skin tones additionally. I can see many, many of Bombshell's great projects working for this set of colors, can't you? Here's what the DT came up with.

Kelli used Butterfly Dreams
