Happy Thursday! I really loved this robot set when it first came out from Mama Elephant, it's such a fun and unique concept and perfect for masculine/boy cards. When I saw that this was part of ME's summer sale, I snatched it right up, and inked it up as soon as it came in the mail.
I colored both of the big robots and a few of the smaller images, and then set about creating a couple of cards.
The robot for this first card was colored with the Copic Cool Gray familiy. I used C0, C1, C2, C3, C5, C7, and a very little bit of C9. He was colored symmetrically, so both sides matched.
I wanted a very bold background, so I pulled out an older stencil, The Crafter's Workshop Spiral Staircase. I started by inking a panel with Altenew Misty Morning ink. The stencil was then added and inked with Dark Night.
I cut a strip of subtle gridded paper the edges of which were inked, stamped the sentiment (also from the set) on it, and adhered it to my stenciled panel.
The stamped images were then adhered with foam tape over top.
This second card is a little more subtle.
This robot was colored with Warm Grays: W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7, and W9, and instead of the symmetrical coloring I did on the first robot, I colored him i a more patchwork fashion.
I chose a couple more neutral/masculine patterned papers, stamping the sentiment directly onto the background, and then adhered my stamped/colored piece.
These robots were really fun to color, and I have a feeling they will get a lot of use on boy birthday cards here.
Hope your week is going well!
