Robotz......


I showed you a card for a little girl yesterday...what about one for a little boy? Little boys love robots right? I thought so-that's why I got this cart- so I made this lovable little chap to enhance the front of the card. That background paper is gift wrap-perfect! It has lots of primary colours on it so I made the robot to match. I covered the front of the card with a piece of the gift wrap matted onto red holographic card. You need to handle gift wrap carefully, it's not as sturdy as paper and it tears and crumples easily. I added a panel of silver pre-corrugated card and a horizontal border, both edged with decorative scissors. I cut a no 4 from star holographic card and then embossed it with a Steel Plate embossing folder. I cut the robot from black, green, red blue & silver mirri, shadowed on silver, assembled it and added some googly eyes. He was adhered to the card with foam pads. I added a wonky arrow to the border pointing to the inside of the card where I added a 'geared' circle with a smaller circle cut from more gift wrap.

There are a couple of girly robots on this cart too.
Thanks for looking!
