The 'theme' for this month's hop is the following:
"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."
You should have arrived here from Stempelientje's blog.
There is a full list of hop participants at the bottom of this post in case you get lost!!!
So...I set to work!!!

I then set that all aside to work on my main image. I chose the stunning beauty from the Girls Ruin set. I inked her in SU! Basic Black ink, coated her with clear embossing powder immediately and heat set her. I love this simple technique as I adore how glossy and shiny her hair looks!!!

I did the heel in brown as if it were a wooden heel. (I have a pair of shoes *almost* exactly like this! hehehe) You'll notice that our beauty has shoes to match only they are in the hot orange hue to match her lingerie!! I set her aside to dry and rest.
I found a gorgeous piece of Basic Grey paper that I edge distressed and laid perpendicular to my main panel. I then used my heart edge punch to punch the hearts out of a scrap of manila folder that I had lying around, added some black glittery hearts with my glue pen and black glitter, an orange rhinestone brad on the top and the word AUTHENTIC on the side. The sticker is from an old SU! Simply Scrappin' kit. I then stamped 3 retro stars from the Girl's Ruin set and punched them out using my 3/4" circle punch. They are popped up on 3-D foam adhesive dots for some added dimension.
I used some Vanilla colored ribbon to create a pleated piece in order to bring some flow and continuity to the transition from the main image to the embellishments on the right hand side of the card.
