I started by inking the background of the card in pumice stone and edging in black sot and walnut stain, spritzing a bit of water to create a more dappled effect . I added a piece of torn paper from pocket cards and used the other piece in a different part of the card. I love creating all these layers.. and see not a found relative in sight!
I added colour to the little robot guy using distress markers scribbled on my craft sheet to create a palette and picking up colour using my waterbrush. I edged in distress ink using blending tool.
I added lots of idea-ology and some tissue tape to add details ... I scuffed up a flashcard and inked to highlight the sanded and scuffed bits .
I added some numbers...can you guess the age ? and crossed the mini attacher staples to create little kisses .
So hope you like my blueprint make, keep your eyes peeled I am sure these little guys will be making an appearance again..sometime soon x
It's an absolute age since I entered a challenge ..so thought I would enter this with some of my old teamies over at Frilly and Funkie , for their monochromatic challenge x
keep those fingers inky!
