Charms 8. Photo Corners 9. Ribbons  10. Lace We are sponsored by the fabulous Bombshell Stamps this time around, and most of the team is using the Indian Princess set. This set also happens to be the Muse Monday set of the month, so you can snag it on sale! I used #'s 1, 2, 3, and 9. I embossed the Large Feather with clear ink directly on the tag, then I inked over it using a few different chalk inks. The Dreamcatcher was stamped separately and cut out. I colored it with pencils and more of the chalk ink. The "Thank You" is from Bombshell's ...

It's the first Monday of the month, so it's time for me to share with you this month's Bombshell Stamps Muse Monday set! This month, I chose to feature Indian Princess. I thought it was appropriate. I was really digging the paper I used for Shannon's Birthday card the other day, so I decided to use it again. And I also colored my image with Distress Inks, as I did the other day. Her face is a little too blotchy. Not sure why, but it's not as smooth as I can usually get it. I sprayed my huge Leafless Tree from Dreamweaver Stencils for my background. A couple of spritzes if a color wash ink, and that's it. Remember, the Indian Princess set is on sale for the entire month of November, so be sure to get yours! Please visit the Bombshell Blog today and every Monday to see what some of the other gals have created with this cool set. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Hello Bloggy Friends! It's time for the Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop! This month, I chose the theme "Cowboys and Indians," which is easy since there are so many Bombshell stamps (rubber and digi!) that fit this category. My project for today features the Indian Princess set. I decided to stamp her on an old page from a book. I then colored her completely with Distress Inks and Cut-N-Dry Nibs (I love those little suckers). The colors I used were Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint Festive Berries, Broken China, Mustard Seed, Black Soot and Pumice Stone. I also used one of the beeeee-utiful feathers that comes in the set to make the background on my card base. I embossed it with Queen's Gold, from Ranger. Gives just the right amount of shine. Now it's time for you to hop along! Below is the full list of participants. Please be sure to visit each one and show them some love. Thanks for topping by, and have an inspiring day!

Hello! I wanted to share my version of this month's Sketch from Bombshell Stamps . I used Indian Princess for this card. I love coloring the Princess. I used Spectrum Noir and Copic markers to color the two images. Did you know that this set comes in rubber and digi form? I love that there are options with this set. This was a easy, yet very eye-pleasing sketch to work with. I do hope you will play along. You have the chance at winning some Bombshell Stamps! Head over to the Bombshell Blog for more details. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Hello! I have the 4th tile in my Dilly Beans Sugar Skulls set, and sadly, an unfinished Bombshell Stamps pendant.  Allow me to show you my tile... As you'll see in a moment, I reversed the image. I didn't want two of the "same" image...so I thought reversing this one was a good fix. I colored this using Copics and Sharpie markers. I colored it using pretty different colors from the other Sugar Skull, again, to make it feel more different. Wanna see the whole set???????????????????????????????????? I am soooooo happy with it! I don't know if I can sell it....or, maybe I'll just make a second set for myself and sell this one. What do you think of the 4 together? As you are aware from a post I had the other day, Bombshell Stamps came out with 2 awesome new sets. Indian Princess and Indian Warrior . I made started to make a pendant with one of the images from Indian Warrior. So. I had her colored, cut and ready to go. Then she disappeared. ...

This is a really exciting day! Not only do I have a fun 31 Days project, but I am also previewing (along with my fellow DT members) new Bombshell Stamps !!! And since I am so excited about these new sets, I am going to start there. The name of the 2 new sets are Indian Warrior and Indian Princess . These are available in digi form now, but will soon be available in fabulous red rubber!I will be sharing a card using the Indian Princess set. Isn't she exquisite? I colored her entirely with my Multicultural Pencil set from Crayola. Yes, Crayola. For those of you that frequent my blog, you know how much I adore this set. And I thought it was quite complimentary to this new set.  I am looking forward to coloring her all different ways. I popped her off of the ovals to really show her off, though I don't think it's too obvious in my photos. I sprayed the background with some sprays from Tsukineko. Make sure you check out the rest of this set and the Indian Wa...
