Good Morning Sistahs!
You would not believe what I have been through for this card. OMG! Lesson learned: Don't take your camera to school and leave it there when you know you haven't taken a picture of the card you need to post in the morning. Seriously?!?! How could I forget? So...I'll apologize for the blurry image, and repost as soon as I get my camera and snag a good photo. What a dork I am...geez!
So, here's my take on the challenge for February's Hump Day Hop:
Mama Said Knock You Out!
No physical violence here, just time to dust off your PUNCHES and use your NESTIES (QuicKutz, Sizzix, Big Shot etc.) to create your next Bombshell Masterpiece! We all have some fun punches and cutting shapes lying around, so why not use these valuable items and get our money's worth? All you have to do, is make sure something on your card has been punched or die cut....extra credit if there's a hole in your card. *giggle Don't make Mama mad....just start knockin' things out. *wink
As you can see, I got a little carried away with my Nesties. I've been wanting to make a masculine card for my uncle, and the Speed Shop set fits the job perfectly!
I colored the car with my Copics: B0000, B000, B21, B23, B24....BINGO! (Sorry couldn't help myself. *giggle) Then I used C0, C3, C5, C7 for the chrome-ish bumper. Then I cut every thing out with my petite oval nesties and even put a hole in the card where you see the Happy Birthday hiding. It's hard to see in the photo, (hopefully the next one will be better,) but I put Glossy Accents on the windows and headlights of the car for a little extra umph. Whew!
Now, it's time to continue HOPPIN'....stop by and see what the rest of the Bombshell Beauties have come up with:

Holy Wow!
I can't believe how awesome the coloring on your car is. I've hid from the hotrods as they intimidate me - you make it look easy.
Incredible card, I'm sure he'll love it.
