I have a fun card to share with you today that I made for our Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge. The theme is to make Cards 4 Kids!
I bought this cute robot digital image and sentiment set a few weeks ago from Birdie Brown for a coloring class that Sandy Allnock was doing, this was the first robot I colored in the class that day. I thought it would be a perfect image for kids cards and I used Operation Write Home's sketch challenge #155 as my layout.
I used cool gray Copic markers following Sandy's direction to make my robot look metallic. The reds I used are R35, R46 & R59. My paper choices are Astrobrights Eclipse Black, Neenah Red Pepper Linen, Mohawk Bright White, X Press It & Stampin' Up! Brushed Silver. For dies - Spellbinders Ovals, Papertrey Ink Double Ended banner die & a small Quickutz Gears die. I added eyelets to the die cut gears for added interest and fun. I remember thinking, wow, when was the last time I used eyelets?! I had to search for them and it looks like I need more black in my collection of eyelets & brads.
When was the last time you used eyelets on a card?!

hi Jan- I am thrilled that you shared your robot- I love how yours looks soooo shiny- particularly his head! I keep practicing! And eyelets- I think the last time I used one was about 10 years ago at a crop when everyone was hammering all night long!A huge headache in the am! lol-- I switched to brads after that!But I must say- they are perect on your card! I have a lot of eyelets if you want them--just say the word!
Great card Jan. Love the gears! I used an eyelet Monday..lol!
