Blog Hoppin' with the Bombshells




It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for the Monthly Bombshell Blog Hop! I look forward to this hop all month long and am practically giddy when it finally arrives! This month our fearless blog hop leader, Kas, has challenged us to a Miss Firecracker theme. Here's what Kas had to say about it:

She's a Firecracker Alright!

I would love to see something along the lines of:
1) Red - White - Blue
2) Firecrackers (Bombshells)
3) Military
4) or sparkling like a firework!

I chose to use an image from the Retro Cowgirl set. She's a sassy little philly and a force to be reckoned with...born and bred, right here, in the good ol' US of A! I colored her up in traditional red, white, and blue, and placed her on my own loosely interpreted flag-type background to carry the theme throughout. When I started this card, at around 3:00 Tuesday afternoon, I had no idea where I would go with it, but, as luck would have it, the crafting fairies were never far away. After a few shiny bits and a good workout with my Copics, this is where I ended up. I rather like her ;D

BUT, don't stop here! There is tons of inspiration to gaze upon, so head to the next name on the list and don't stop until you have experienced every ounce of Bombshell goodness! Leave my fellow hoppers some love on their blogs in the form of a comment and you can increase your chances of being selected to win the monthly prize package! Want to join the fun next month? Then head to the forum and grab the details for the next hop. No off you go...;D
