Bombshell May Blog hop

Today is the bombshell hump day hop and the theme is May Celebrations...what we were to do is to pick a holiday that is celebrated in May...there are allot to choose from
and on May 18th it was No dirty Dishes day so I have created a page inspired by that....
 
that flower is created by plastic spoons...plastic spoons = no dirty dishes :)
 I melted them over a candle and formed them into a flower...this was my first attempt and I don't think it turned out so bad...I did spray paint it black because I burned it a few times...but thats ok I probably was going to make it black anyways :)
the page is a two pocket album page I found the how to on youtube, it was some patterend paper that I didn't like but after some crackel paint and acrylic paint it turned out pretty cool. I stamped my bombshell and colored and cut her out, then stamped the word heartbreaker right on my page, and made two tags to go inside my pocket....

wadda ya think? kinda cool huh?
hopefully my next spoon flower will be better and there will be a next as it was kinda fun to make
no go check out the rest of the Gals! here is the list

new Challengeat the game

there is a new challenge over at the game!
the challenge this time is called "Jacks are better"
"In Playing cards especially poker, "Jacks are Better" to open. So this challenge is for us to show us  your creations using your JACK... a Face Card Jack...or an image of a face card Jack."

here is my creation
I have created an ATC out of a jack playing card
I used alcohol inks in green and yellow, then wen around the edge of the card in black and put green glitter around the jack's lil border, then I stamped my senti (on another card like a 4 or something with allot of space) then cut that out, added black to the edges, and glitter...glued it all together and there I have it!

your mamma don't dance

I have created another journal page, this one is for a few challenges...and the more I look at it the more I like how it turned out...

I took my two Stampotique images and stamped them and colored them up, then I painted my pages purple and those black things (with the staples in them) are actually grocery bags...cool huh? I melted them! there is a junk funk challenge at Smeared and Smudged where you reuse some junk and grocery bags was the junk of the month :) so I glued my people down and my song lyrics down and added some bling to the bow tie, her necklace, shirt and headband, then some glitter around my words, and there I have it

I would like to enter this into the following challenges....
Dilly Beans-Bling
Stampotique-Family
Smeared and Smudged-junk funk
Poisoned Peas- Wicked Step Mother

a new challenge blog!

Its finally here! the first challenge of the Game...a new challenge blog for all kinds of art (therefore we have made an adult content warning...just incase)...you must go check out what the DT has done...we are so diverse!
The challenge is a tic tac toe board and all you have to do is get 3 in a row (you know the game)
here is the board
and here is my creation

I used an image I found on deviantart by Paulee1 and all I did was I added glossy accents to her axe.

for the challenge I used dry embossing...I embossed my paper then took my brayer and rolled some purple and orange paint over the raised parts. I added eyelets to the corners of my main image, and staples wherever I could...the flower was made from the TH tattered florals die.
now go check out the challenge blog for yourself and see what the other awesome girls have created, then enter this challenge for yourself...here is the link


speaking of challenges...I also would like to enter my card into a few others, first off there is the Quoth The Raven challenge blog, the challenge is based on the short story The Pit and the Pendulum...see the pendulum behind the girl...creepy huh?

next is the Smeared and Smudged "very sketchy" challenge...trust me I started with the sketch but it kinda evolved into this.

~Edit~
I forgot to mention how my flower was made
there is one purple flower on the bottom that is just card stock but the black ones are coffee filters I got wet and painted with black acrylic paint.
