July Color Challenge

Greetings! Alison here. It's time for the next Bombshell Stamps Color Challenge! This month, like all of the others, I got my color palette from Design Seeds. 

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. I look forward to seeing your entries!

Fabulous Friday Tutorial - Faux Snakeskin Background

 Start with a Texture Disperse stencil.  Some Distress Inks light brown to black with a ink tool or two.  Perfect Medium Ink and Perfect Pearls in gold and copper.

 

First apply the lightest brown here Pumice Stone to the cardstock base.

Tape the stencil over the cardstock and begin applying ink working with layers of browns in a V shape down the stencil.  Here I used Frayed Burlap and Brushed Corduory.

Continue adding color getting darker here applying Walnut Stain & Black Soot.

Remove the stencil and clean it before moving on to the next step.

Now replace the clean stencil offset over the inked piece and sponge the Perfect Medium over the stencil.  Remove the stencil and clean it once more since we are now done with it.

 Now brush on the gold and copper Perfect Pearls in a V strips down the piece.  Brush away excess.

Your Faux Snakeskin is complete you can cut your piece down and add it to your project.

 For this project I used All My Heart and Banner Sayings colored with Copics to match the background.

Thank You so much for stopping by have a great day!

Inspire your Heart with Art: Wacky Holiday

Greetings all! Alison here, with the latest installment of Bombshell's Wacky Holidays. I get all of my wacky holiday ideas from Holiday Insights...and this particular holiday really excited me. "Inspire Your Heart with Art" day. Here's what the website says about this day. And yeah...it's not actually today, but now you have time to prepare for it!

When : Always January 31st

Inspire Your Heart With Art Day celebrates art and the effect it can have on your heart. Art is valued and appreciated for all sorts of reasons.

Look at a piece of art and ask yourself: What is is telling me? How does it make me feel? What emotions is it evoking (if any) within me?

A sense of love and romance is one of those feelings and emotions that a piece of artwork can awaken and inspire. Looking to create a little romance with that special someone? Try setting the mood, with an appropriate piece of art.

While the title of this day suggests you inspire "your" heart, we're guessing you may use today to inspire someone else's heart...to romantic thoughts....of you. That's perfectly okay.

Here's what some of the Bombshell gals came up with.

 Alaine combined Sacred Heart and Rose's Portrait

Doodling ATCs

Hello everyone, today I have a tutorial for you!  Way back in march when we were moving and I was down with a bad back I did a lot of these little ATCs that just had one bombshell image and lots of doodling on them because that's all I could do at the time.  So I thought I would give a quick little how to for them...

Here's what you need:  

A Bombshell Stamp of choice (i used All My Heart)

Ink

An ATC blank or cardstock cut to 2.5 by 3.5

a doodle pen (i used a sharpie pen and a micron pen)

an imagination

First you need to stamp your image in the center of your ATC.

Now you take your pen and start drawing lines from your image to the outside of your ATC.

Once you have all your lines drawn, and the number you use is up to you, then you start doodling.  Now before I show you the rest please know that doodling is a totally personal thing.  It's what comes from you, you don't need to follow patterns just put the pen in your hand and whatever comes out of it is your doodle!!!

SO start doodling!

and doodle some more

and some more

Until you have filled up each and every space you made when drawing your lines.  You want to try and not use the same pattern on one ATC unless that's what you want!

Have fun and make some wonderful creations!!!
