Caardvark's Sketchfest Wednesday!

I'm having too much fun with the combination of these sketches and my Bombshell stamps and I hope it shows. I do need to break out some other stamps and play, but I'm on a Bombshell kinda roll, so I might as well go with it.

I will admit that I mixed up Wednesday's sketch a little bit to make it work with this stamp, but I think I captured the spirit of the sketch...



When I first saw this car from the Speed Shop set by Bombshell Stamps, I pictured it coming out of flames. Then I had a "Eureeka!" moment and realized that Bombshell's Tattoo Background set contained the perfect flames. Voila!

I first stamped the flames in Adirondack Red Pepper, then masked it and restamped it. Then I stamped the car so that it would be behind the flames. The car and flames were colored with Copic markers, which I am growing to totally adore. The "sky" area was chalked. I found a free clip art image of a traffic ticket, printed it out, filled it out, cut it up, and added it and a computer generated sentiment. I used my new Cuttlebug folder on silvery metallic paper to create the background and used some T!m Holtz Ideology Phillips Head Screw brads too.

Thanks for visiting today!
