Today is the Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop and I thought I'd make something really girlie for a change.
I'm sporting a big sloppy crush for paint strips. Did you see the one on the card? I love the shades of pink on the strip. Did you know that a little vigorous rubbing with a white eraser removes the writing? I hear Magic Erasers work too.
This is my first attempt at a skin color other than pale caucasian. It's still way too pink but that might be partly due to the background and veil color. I'm going to try a nice Hawaiian Islands tone next and see if I can come up with something realistic. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Here's the rest of the gals in the hop, leave a comment and you'll be entered in a drawing for some Bombshell Stamps:

I never would have thought to use paint strips on a card. I love the card. It is a great color combo and I really like the image.
Ooh that position she is standing in is making my already aching back groan in protest for her... espescially in those heels! ;)
I love all the stitching you've done on this and you just know who she reminds me of don't you? Ay Carumba!

gorgeous color combo!
Wow!!!! Very pretty!!! I love the paintchip!!! You can bet I'll be hitting up Home Depot!!!!

I didn't even notice the paint chip! What a great use of supplies. Do you use a sewing machine for all of it or hand stitch?

Love all the lace and the many different ways you created it!
That is pretty girly but my favorite shade of green! Very pretty!
I love this card. Love, love, love, love, love! Hey, Nicole, you gotta make some cards for GA - we haven't had any cardmakers on our design team yet. And I am adorng what you did with the paint strips. So simple and yet I never thought of it. Hmmm... does that indicate you're a genius or that I'm a dolt? Let's go with genius. ;)
Wow Nicole, excellent execution and I love that she has red hair... (ehem!)
I love the card, Nicole! This stamp is one of my favorites so far.
Love the card. I like the lace and the lacy paint strip. Who knew paint strips could look so good.
I have got to remember the paint chip idea.
