Bombshell July Blog Hop - She's a Firecracker Alright!

Hello!  Thanks for joining us on our hop.  This month I asked the Bombshell Girls to make something along the lines of:

1) Red - White - Blue
2) Firecrackers (Bombshells)
3) Military
4) or sparkling like a firework!

Here's July's Prize Package:

I make cards for Operation Quiet Comfort and also for Operation Write Home, so this month's theme worked out well.

So here's my card...

Bombshell DT Artist Trading Card Bloghop

ATCs are something new for me.  This was great to start it off.  I love ALL of the cards that I received. 

 I am making something cool to put them all in.  It inspired me and I am working on more now. 

When we started we were going to try to pick a "Bombshell" most like us. 

Well, I started shooting on a rifle team when I was 10 years old. 

It was a great confidence booster and I made a lot of friends. 

(I grew up in Oregon, so it wasn't that odd)

For mine I picked the Retro Cowgirl Set!  She's a pistol packin' hottie! 

Since ATCs are the size of playing cards....and playing cards remind me of the Old West,

 I actually used cards for my base.  I stamped the flowers with the spur stamp. 

I used the barbed wire stamp at the bottom.  I added a fabric "bandana" in the corner.

The Cowgirl was colored with Copic Markers

I would love to show you the cool cards I got...but you need to hop to see 'em all!

IT WAS FUN !!

If you didn't start there, do not pass go..do not collect $200 (sorry) and go back to the top!
