Bombshell February Hop!

(If you haven't already, don't forget to enter my blog candy here!)

Welcome to the February Bombshell Hump Day Hop! The challenge for this month was

'Momma Said Knock You OUT'!

Ms. InkyButton wanted us to break out our punches and/or Nesties this month, so here's what I came up with:

This actually uses an old PaperWorks Co. Sunday Sketch (#20), where we were to focus on frames. I used my rectangle Nesties to create the frame out of Chocolate Chip cardstock, and then stamped on that with the SU! Sanded background stamp and Chocolate Chip ink. That whole piece is popped up from the base of the card, and the frame itself is popped up from the image, also. I threw in a piece of acetate, to mimick the look of the plate of glass that normally accompanies a framed piece of art. Throw all that on top of some wallpaper-y looking background paper, along with a gold brad & some gold twine, and you've got yourself a framed image on Grandma's wall...which, btw, will be used for my mil's birthday card this year. Oh, and in case you're wondering, that pretty little bird & banner are from the 'Til Death set.

And since I've decided I really, really, really am not happy with this card, check back around 9am CST - it's midnight now, I'm in the middle of a way cooler project, and I'll add it in the morning, once there's sunlight! (All the better to photograph you with, my dear...muahahahahahaaaaaaaaa.....)

ETA: Here's the new project - this time we're using PWCO's Sunday Sketch #21 (the current one) and Bombshell's Mermaid Treasure set - the same set that is in my blog candy. (Not THE one in the candy...lol, that one is brand spankin' new)

It's a little SU! skinny silver tin (also like in the candy); I bought something like 50 of the suckers, so it's time to get using them! I painted it with two coats of acrylic paint, and while the second coat was still wet, I sprinkled on some Doodlebug Sugar Coating glitter that was the same blue. Then I PUNCHED two 2" circles and one 2.5" circle, coloured & cut out my mermaid & attached everything with Tacky Tape (yum!). And of course, I couldn't forget the bling!

Now - go check out what the rest of the Bombshell DT & everyone else that joined in have been up to!
