Hi all,
the Inkspiration challenge was a nice sketch this week - so when we finally wrapped up a weekend of family fun and outings (seriously in one weekend we saw a lot of snakes - one was even out in the bush! (big red bellied black snake), lots of gorgeously coloured birds (walk in aviary) lizards galour and a platypus - I kid you not a platypus out in the wild! (I think I was more excited than the kids) well the Tidbinbella Nature Reserve to be exact - oh and we saw turtles, emus and lots of kangaroos there as well. Ok so after all that I managed to seize the energy when we got to home to make a start on a card. Here's the sketch.
I'm still working on my birthday card stash so I worked from there - oh and I had a new stamp to play with.
You can't go past the Celecbration DSP for birthdays! So I pulled it out and picked out the patterns I wanted to use, that set the colour scheme - Pacific Point and Real Red. I layered the Pacific Point base with the red number pattern, then used another pattern for the large vertical strip. I stamped my robot in Versamark on watercolour paper, then embossed with black embossing powder. Then coloured him in using aquapainter and ink pad lids. A touch of Choc Chip for the cake and Daffodil Delight for the candle flames. I used oval nestabilities to cut the robot out and for the layer. For the two horizontal panels I stapled on some frayed Pacific Point grosgrain ribbon. I added a sentiment using a tag and white embossing the happy birthday, a little star and a couple of brads and all done! The inside was finished off very simply to match.
Hopefully it's not too fussy for a boy...I like it anyway :)
Thanks for visiting,
Kim
