August Bombshell Sketch Challenge

It’s that time again! Time for another one of Kathi’s fabulous and inspiring sketches for Bombshell Stamps! Here’s a look see at it.

August 11

There are so many things you can do with this sketch…I may need to use it again because of all of the ideas I have! But for now, here’s what I made for today.

I used a wacky combination of papers, that I think look pretty funky together when used with this sketch. For my Bombshell images, I used Butterfly Queen and Man’s Ruin (for the sentiment).

I colored my Queen with my colored pencils. Actually, I only used pencils from my beloved Multicultural set from Crayola. Yes. Crayola! Their pencils rock. And so does this set. Anyway, I must say, I love the way her stockings came out. They really look fibrous to me, and sheer. I think she’s h-o-t!

I had some clear cabochons that I tinted with Pitch Black Alcohol Ink from Ranger, and I adhered them using Platinum Liquid Pearls.

I hope you will play along with this sketch challenge! Just post your creation on your blog and add it to the Inlinkz on the Bombshell Blog. You have the chance to win some rad Bombshell Stamps! Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

This is so awesome! I love it.:) I'm already trying to think ahead to what I'm going to do for the hop at the end of the month. I've got some new Bombshells and I'm itching to use them. Maybe I'll try to play along with the sketch so I can break some out before then.:)

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Hop

This is a very exciting week for the Stampendous team! We are hanging out with the ultra cool Deco Art Mixed Media team, each using each other's products to share some incredible creations with you. These companies go hand in hand, so using each other's products is easy. And the results are amazing. We are of course featuring Andy Skinner's stamps, who is the DecoArt International Education Coordinator.  And yup, there are prizes! But I want you to go to the Stampendous Blog for all of that info. The link is at the bottom of the post. Now, on to my project. I made a cool wall hanging today. I started off with a piece of MDF and I drilled 2 holes, and covered it with DecoArt's white Gesso. After it dried, I used Andy's Alcohol and Media fluid Acrylics Layering Technique. You can check out his how-to video HERE . Needless to say, it's a great technique, and I loved doing it. Once I finished with the aforementioned technique, I sealed the piece w

Changes

Greetings! I don't have a project to share with you today, but rather, an announcement. I have decided to completely revamp my blog, and move it to a new site. I've been blogging at 21st Century Pillow Book for over 10 years now, and it's been wonderful. But the "Pillow Book" aspect got lost somewhere along the way. If you don't know what that is, read my description in the blog header, or do a quick search. They are really very cool. Anyway, I thought it was due time for me to work on a new blog, more of a brand, etc. So, I invite you to now join me over at alisonheikkila.com . I've still got some polishing up to do, and a whole lot of learning, as WordPress is completely different from Blogger, but I am really excited for this new site. I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I am happy to finally be getting it done. Bear with me as I figure out the best way to make it all look and flow. I thankfully have some help with that. But I think you
