Little Robot Family

Sharing something a little fun with you today.  I decided the other month Bob might need a girlfriend.  So I've done him a little family, girl robot and dog robot.  Actually along the way I've rounded him out a little, see if you can spot the differences.

You can find this image The Bots, here in the shop where you can get 10% off all the images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I coloured the image using Copics keeping a metal these of different greys for silvers and yellows for gold.  After colouring the image I then decided to fussy cut them (took me ages!).

I found lots of lovely grey papers in my stash and has already got the yellow spotted one die cut from another project.

I've added a few yellow enamel dots to the background for interest and a wood chip XOXO sentiment coloured with Copics to match them card theme.

Star Gazing

So I've had this image printed a while, it's called Christmas Eve because the's a version with a sleigh across a moon, BUT included in the images you get this one which is just the child and dog.  I was supposed to be in the Lake District this week and we had to cancel our hols so I get a little extra creating time :)

You can find the image here, where you can get 10% off this and all the images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've coloured the image with Copics and given the background some texture with a sponge and Copic cleaner.

My hubby wondered what the boy and dog were staring at, once I added some pink glittery embossing enamel to create a Milky Way he got it straight away :) 

No embellishments to this one, I've just used a white acrylic pen to add in a few random stars.

Hope everyone is safe and well <3
