Hip Hop Hurray!!! Today's the day!

It's the last "Hump Day" (Wednesday) of the month and I'm stoked because the Bombshell Hump Day Hops are back to stay!!!

The lovely and talented Alison is the new Head Hump Day Hop Hottie. She set this month's hop theme, which is "Goth Up Your Bombshells!"

If you followed the hop in order, I'm likely your last stop. If not, the blog list is below!

Here's my take on the challenge.


I decided to "Goth Up" Rose from Rose's Portrait set. I swapped out her crystal earring for a barbed wire, gave her a barbed wire choker, and added a skull tattoo to her shoulder. The barbed wire is from the Retro Cowgirls set. The skull is from the Speed Shop set.

Rose was colored with Copic markers in shades of black, red violet, violet, and a touch of green. I contemplated using shades of teal to pay homage to Alison (who has teal highlights), but changed my mind. Red violet/burgundy/violet are very "goth" to me. I also contemplated going deep red with black roses, but decided that I was not feeling up to that particular Copic challenge (reds and deep gray/black can be very persnickety and like to run).

The patterned paper is old Daisy D that I updated with Tim Holtz's Borderline Ideology Masks and Black Soot Distress Ink. As usual for me, I don't know what I'll use the card for, so I'll add a sentiment when needed. I was going to add some tattered lace and gems and safety pins, but decided "less is more".

Thanks for hopping along with the Bombshell Girls, Pin-ups, and guests today. I know you got to see some awesome eye candy!

Why don't you check the Casino on Bombshell Stamps' Forum in the beginning of next month to find out June's Hump Day Hop theme so you can hop along with us? You can also find Ms. June's challenge and my sketch there!
