April Bombshell Hump Day!

It's the last Wednesday of the month...so you know what that means! It's time for the Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop! It's Alison, your official Hump Day Hottie, This mothe the theme is Bettie Page


If you are joining from the hop you should have come from

Laura's Blog if not nevermind there is a full list of all the participantson this months hop below. 

"On April 22, 1923, a star was born. A star that we all know. A star that, without her, Bombshell Stamps may not even exist (if I may be so presumptuous). Who is it? None other than Bettie Page. What better month to pay homage to the Pin-Up Queen herself than the month of her birth? So for this hop, I want you to give Ms. Page some love. Make a project, any type of project, using her as inspiration. There are thousands of images to view, lots of quotes she has said, and others have said about her. Here are some photos of Ms. Page."

So now that you've seen her...let's see what kind of inspiration the participants have gotten from Bettie Page! Here is the full list (did I mention 17?!) of hoppers.

Butterfly Pendant.

I enjoyed making the Cameo Necklace for this fortnights challenge of "Stamped Jewellery"at 

Fun with Shapes & More so I decided to play along again with a Necklace and Matching Gift Box to match the "Butterflies" card I made yesterday.

 I've use Spellbinder's Large Circles and Large Scalloped Circles and cut the base of the pendant from Core'dinations CS and some cardboard from a cereal packet to strengthen it a little. I stamped over the patterned paper with BasicGrey "Two Scoops" flourish stamp and then coated with Crackle accents for a vintage aged effect. Once dry I punched a hole through all layers and set an eyelet to secure the velvet ribbon. I then decorated with Rose's from Wild Orchid Crafts. I then punched out two butterflies and then stuck them together and covered with crackle accents before mounting onto base and finishing off with gems for the butterflies body.

Close up of Necklace.

 The base of the box is painted with "Black Soot" Distress Ink then covered with Crackle Accents, then decorated to match the necklace.
