Bombshell Hump Day Hop!! Diamonds are a girl's best friend

It’s Hump Day! That means it’s time for another Bombshell Hump Day Hop! Our fabulous Hump Day Hottie, Angela, has come up with a wonderful challenge for us this week… “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”. We were supposed to glitz up our Bombshells with whatever we could find that would make our creations sparkle. THIS is where I had my first problem…not only has my creative mojo taken a vacation, but if you know me, you’ll know that I’m glitterphobic! I can’t stand glitter…I don’t want to touch it! I don't even want to be NEAR it! So, since glitter was out of the question, I thought about Stickles…well, this was my second problem- my box of Stickles must have take a vacation with my mojo because I couldn’t find it anywhere in my messy stamp room!!! Okay, WHAT was I going to do!? Well, I DID have some clear gems and they do sparkle quite nicely. I’m almost a little embarrassed to post this card because I KNOW that the other DT members will have absolutely GORGEOUS glittery creations to show and, although mine is a nice enough card, it’s pretty plain and simple, but, here it is:

I have a sign hanging in my kitchen that says “It is what it is”…and that’s a perfect saying for this card! I used the Bombshell Angel stamp set, stamping her onto GP110 white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her using my Copic markers. The card base and layering is Stampin’ Up’s Basic Black. The white panel is GP110 and is embossed in my Cuttlebug using my new Fleur de Lis embossing folder. The black flower is from BoBunny as are the large gems. The smaller gems are from Bazzill. You can see my Bombshell has some pretty large diamond earrings and ring…wish I had some that size! The black and white color combination was from my blogging group's weekly challenge- Ebony and Ivory. We were to make a card using only black and white or black and vanilla papers, inks and embellishments. Okay, so I cheated a little by coloring my Bombshell's skin!

Head on over to the other participating DT member’s blogs to check out their glitzy and glittery creations!! I KNOW that you won't be disappointed!
