Dress your Bombshell

Here is a tutorial from 2009, that I thought might be useful!  Dress your Bombshell!


Miss Bombshell is wearing a lovely full length evening gown made from DCWV metallic cardstock.
Her shoes are black with a hint of silver glamour.
She sends big hugs and kisses to everyone!
The key to dressing these bombshells are the arms.
To make it easier it helps if she has a sleeve,
spaghetti strap or in this case, a sash.

You can use the arms from the final stamp or a second stamp.

Directions:
Start with a stamped image.

I would also color her skin first. It is easier to work with a larger piece.


Remove the arm at different spots depending
on how she will be dressed.
You may only need to replace the hands, like in this example.
Its easiest to design the clothes with tracing paper or vellum. You could even use a transparency so that it would be easier to reuse. This part is up to you, what do you want her to look like??

Also, keep those mis-stamped images for
*body parts* lets not waste girls!!

Woo Hoo Bombshell Humpday Hop - Altered Style !!

Welcome!
At Bombshell Stamps we have a few different challenges going on,
so stop and check them out!
HERE

There is a great Sketch Challenge
and a Valentine's Day Challenge
and today we are doing our
Altered Item Hop

There are so many great blogs for you to check out.

My items is a Valentine's Day inspired altered item.
I started with a Whitman's sampler box. (chocolate....Valentine's Day....)



I removed the paper around the whole box, so that the new paper would adhere.
I covered it with Heidi Grace/Fiskars paper that I picked up at Big Lots.
The paper was $1 for each pack of 15 sheets.
What a deal!  The polka dot paper is flocked and shimmery.
The flowered paper is shimmered and foiled.




The lace is some vintage lace I already had and the buttons were removed from an old shirt.
The leaves are from a fall garland purchased last year.
I used beige Prima flowers with brass snap eyelets in the center.
I added a wedding ribbon and string of pearls near the bottom.


The green rectangle strip was made using the Martha Stewart doily punch along both sides.
The large green scalloped circle was made using a Paper Shapers punch.


The large stamps is from the Bombshell stamps set 'Til Death
The sentiment at the bottom is also from that set.
They are edged with Tim Holtz distressing ink around the edges.
The bird and banner are colored with Copic markers and colored pencils.

I had a lot of fun making this and I am reminded that Bombshell Stamps can be so versatile.

OK, enough of mine....go check out all the other great altered items.
Oh, I forgot.....there are even prizes available, in addition to all the great mojo you are going to get!

Asian Inspiration

This is my answer to the challenge on Miss Maggo's Blog


It uses of course a Bombshell Stamp. 
Her dress is made from Joss Paper. 
The three Prima flowers have painted brads to match the picture that is at top.
I think that pin-ups and Asian designs go well together.
In fact stop back in a couple of days to check out another project with a similar feel!

Now.....YOU go try something and post it, with a link back here and to Miss Magoo's!!
