It's the last Wednesday of the month (geez, already?) and this means it's time for Bombshell Stamps monthly Hump Day Blog Hop!!! Woo Hoo!!! This month our hop mistress, Alison, tasked us with the theme "Some Like It Hot". So that means...well, it means whatever YOU think it means!! That's the beauty of Alison's challenges. They can be interpreted many, MANY ways!!! So hop along with us and make sure you sprinkle love notes along the way to all the participants. THEN, create your own HOT project and enter for your chance to win some FaBuLoUs Bombshell stamps!!!
If you hopped your way here from Alison's sizzling blog, then you made it here in one piece!!!
So...for my project, which I actually completed over 2 weeks ago, (...proof that miracles do still happen), I chose the fun Tiki Party stamp set. And what's more fun (and challenging) than a game of Fire Limbo?? Not that I'd actually try it...but don't you think they should have this as a challenge on the next episode of Survivor? I'd watch.
For the flames, I stamped the flames on vellum and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. This gives them a more translucent look. Originally I tried it on transparency film...but they didn't show up as well, so vellum won out. I colored up the tikis and bamboo with my Prismas and turned the bamboo into a nifty frame and...the limbo stick.
Ingredients:
Tiki Party stamp set - Bombshell Stamps
Prismacolor colored pencils
pigment ink - Tsukineko
vellum
cardstock
clear embossing powder - Ranger
patterned paper - DCWV (I think)
mini brads - Creative Impressions
