April 2012 Hump Day Hop: Homage to Bettie Page

[Kathi]

Here's my second Bettie card.

[Torrey]

Oh Kathi, I REALLY love your second Bettie card. That is AWESOME POSSUM.

Ok, I feel like I need to apologize to y'all for NOT doing a naughty card. Let me explain my...restraint.

When I made the card for the blog hop, I was sitting at a crop retreat of 16 women...all of whom (except for me and Jodi) were very proper and devout Mormon ladies.

Let's just say, were I to TRULY let my bad self go wild...I would have probably found myself tarred and feathered or had misionaries come do some intervention on me.

Just sayin'.

Yes, I'm sure you would have been tarred and feathered but I'm sure you could make it into a trendy fashion statement. I kinda had the same problem. I have a lot of older church ladies that follow my blog. I think I would have blown out a few pace makers and been beaten with umbrellas - wait, the umbrella part could be fun.

Kathi, I really like this second card. This one reminds me of Bettie out on a shoot. As Torrey says, awesome oppossum!

Kathi, I just love this second card. It is totally perfect. I agree with Mary, it looks like she's on a photo shoot.
Torrey, I totally understand why you didn't make a risque card. But wouldn't it be fun for all of us to do risque Betties and keep them here? Hmmmmm.....

[Kathi]

Maybe we should do a Bombshell risqué card/atc swap or a challenge we can post on Gamblers Anonymous? What do you think?

BTW, my first card did have some hints towards the risqué.

Also, the mistake was that I glued the elements on the right in the wrong order. I wanted to have the blank up top (with the red glitter stars on 'em to form a red glitter visual triangle), the finger/bad girl pointing towards the "Bettie", and the Bombshell Queen on the bottom. I realized after the film strip (which is folded like a card with the printed film strip on the outside and the guide on the inside) red liner taped incredibly securely. So I let it ride.

Here it is so you can have a visual reference.

I agree ladies. This was one of my favorite blog hops too. But I have only been on a few. There were lots of beauty's and I learned a few new techniques too.
It made me have to have the Bombshell Angel Stamp. I bought it right after I finished the hop. Just got it the other day. Now that makes about 5 bombshell stamp sets I have and I'm not stopping there..
Now it's time to win a few. ahahahah I wish.
You guys are all awesome

Thanks for info. I will do that. I've did a few blog hop's with once other site and actually just started entering challenges and blogging not too long ago.
I plan on entering the sketch challenge this month and also the tic tac toe challenge as well.
I'll be around. Been stalking you all for a while.
Thanks again
