Birthday card ....

...  Hi, back again - this time with a card to share.  I've made a birthday card for my great nephew who will be six years old next week!  I can't believe how quickly time passes:

Robot Card - Photo by Deborah Frings - Deborah's Gems

Stamps: Papermania - Robot (PMA10144)
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Not Quite Navy, Pumpkin Pie
Dies:  Spellbinders - Star Circles (S4-335) #3, Grand Circles (LF-114) #3
Accessories:  Papermania DP - For Him; SU Card - Pumpkin Pie, Naturals White; SU DP - Not Quite Navy, Pumkin Pie; Sakura Glaze Pen - Orange; White Lustre Card


I used the sketch from this week's CAS - Colours & Sketches - CASC&S48 challenge.  I couldn't think what to do on the card so I had a rummage through my design papers and came across this set of guy papers from Papermania (quite old).  I think the robot is just right for a six year old boy.  I covered the base of the card with the robot paper.  I cut the circles with the dies and then stamped the robot onto Natural White card, cut him out and added a bit of colour with a glaze pen - it has a subtle shine in real life.  I drew the number by hand and cut it out.  I haven't finished the inside yet, but will post a picture later.

Edited:  Hi back again - I managed to finish the inside of the card - kept it really simple with more of the cute robot paper as a mat layer and some orange behind the white panel.  I stamped another image of the robot and a simple greeting.  This card will be in the post tomorrow!



That's all for now - must dash off to the shops.  See you soon.

Awww, what a fun card for a youngster! The blue and orange color scheme is great, and I love how the robot image and designer paper coordinate with each other. Thanks for participating in this week's CAS - Colours and Sketches challenge! :)
