Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop

Wednesday already! How did this happen?

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!

    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?

    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. ;)
