I wanted to share with you a fun project I've been working on this week. It wasn't intentionally a Bombshell Stamps project - but I can't resist using them whenever I'm playing. They're so cool!
I used my awesome Color Kits from Gauche Alchemy. A project like this is so much easier when someone gathers all the pieces for you - it left me free to do creating, not shopping/scrounging.
frame. This one called to me as I liked the three recessed cut outs. Paint to front and sides your main color with acrylic paint.
Paint inside the frame holes with your complimentary color and sprinkle clear glitter over the wet paint. Move the glitter around until all sides are sparkly.
Once you've got that done, start gluing on doo-dads and making little scenes in each space.
I recommend sticking to a color scheme so it doesn't get too crazy but crazy can also be awesome. In this case, I used red as my main color, turquoise as my accent color and black and white.

This is so cool. There is so much going on that it took me awhile to take it all in. I just saw some Beeman's gum in the grocery store the others day. It brought back memories of my grandmother. Such a great piece of art.
This is fabulous!
