A prize will be awarded to one participant whose book-themed creation tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a hammin’ jammin’ way! Another prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all the blogs along the way. The winners will be announced on the Hoedown blog, as well as on the Hambo company blog, Talk to the Ham, on Wednesday, February 1.
So I was chatting with my friend Leslie about what to make for the hop, and she mentioned this book - but she didn't own a stamp to make it happen. But woohoo, I did!! And she said I could borrow her book title. Can you guess what it is?
How about a closer look. There is real duct tape on the mouths of the "lambs"...
That's right - SILENCE OF THE LAMBS!! hee hee hee!! I used the Hambo Party Sheep, but masked out the party hat & noise maker when I stamped the image. Then I cut some teeny tiny pieces of duct tape to put over their mouths. Which I'll have you know was NOT easy. Turns out duct tape is super sticky. (That's your newsflash of the hop. HA!) I decided after the card was complete to add a little Liquid Applique to the sheep for fuzzy wool texture. Another thing about duct tape - it sorta shrinks and melts when you hit it with a heat gun. Who knew?? Oops.
For the card layout, I decided to play along with the CPS #252 sketch challenge. Thanks for the inspiration, CPS!
And just in case any of you are doubting me, I want to assure you that Silence of the Lambs really is a book. Not just a movie. The book is even better than the movie, if you can imagine! Ok I'm fibbing right now, I've never actually read the book. I just read that the book is fantastic. As was the movie. SUCH a great movie!!
I was the final stop on the blog hop today. I do recommend that you head back to the Hambo Stamps blog one more time, though, and let Monica know how much you enjoyed this hop! Because Monica is awesome, as are Hambo Stamps!

ReplyDeletePerfect creation for the book!! Love it!

ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA!! I busted a gut when I got to your card, and yelled downstairs for Tim to hurry and look at it too. He agreed -- Libby for the win! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd even though I knew you were using duct tape, you're right, I would have NEVER guessed this one! Such a fun, clever card, and great layout too!!
Ha! That is tooo clever Libby! I wish The book is creepier than the movie. It was one of my reading assignments in my Literature class last semester and I had never seen the movie if you can believe that - so I read the book first then watched the movie! This would have been such a cute thank you card for my Lit Professor!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! This is absolutely, hilarious and adorable too. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteHa,ha, ha. So stinking cute! I knew right away that it was "Silence of the Lambs!" Love the duct tape and the tip that it's sticky and shrinks. :) And even though its funny, it is a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThis CRACKS. ME. UP!!! Awesome, Libby! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL -- libby to cute! love the card -- and love the book/movie!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME. HILARIOUS!!!. GREAT JOB!!!
ReplyDeleteYou totally get the CREEPY award with this one!! hahaha...nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. You have my pick for the winner! The only bad thing is that I do not do horror flicks. It is 12:43 at night and my husband went to bed because i told him I was not going to go to bed until I finished this hop. The card was great. I was laughing...nothing scary at all....until I scroll down to comment, and there HE is, STARING at me. The shivers go down my spine, it seems extremely quiet in the house (this is why my husband and I go to bed together- because I am the biggest wimp in the world!) and I have to now manage to go down the dark and creepy hallway, and up the creaky stairs where the I know he is waiting for me.... Yep you succeeded Libby your card is the winner in my book! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThis rocks! Love the tape and the wooly sheep. That movie scared the heck out of me........but I never read the book. Not sure I could....Fab card!
