February Outlawz Sketch Challenge

Its the first Wednesday of the month which means its time for our Outlawz Sketch challenge.

We've no sponsor this month so its a free for all on what we create with :)

I've chosen to use Kraftin Kimmie's Nerds - Robot Boy.

He's been coloured with Copics, then cut with a Spellbinders die.  The edges of the image have been distressed with Vintage Photo distress ink from Tin Holtz.  I've then matted it onto some black card cut with another Spellbinders card.

These are our sketch hints for February.

My design paper is some scrapbooking paper I've had in my stash forever, so long I can't even remember who it's by.  It came as a Steampunk set.

The sentiment is made up from Tim Holtz stickers and wooden chipboard.

Thanks for popping by for a look today, we hope to see you at the challenge

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.

Sharing a little creation I've made for a very special birthday today.

I've used Bob, which you can find here in my shop.  You can get 10% off all my images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

As Bob was being coloured for a 70th birthday card I've done him all rusty and old hee hee....

I've done this using Copics.  the image was cut out with a large section to the right where I could add the embellies.

The design papers have been in my stash for ages for this one, they're industrial looking ones to go with the image.

The sentiment was printed at the same time as the image.  I've just edged it and the image with Walnut Stain from Tim Holtz.  Behind the image is a section of corrugated card board from some bedding packaging :)

Bob has lots of cog embellishments, these are metal ones from Tim Holtz.  The can has been made for my uncle who loved robots and has always made his own circuits.  So I decided to draw some on with a pen around the image edges to personalise it.

Clunk Clunk

1st of the month so it's new challenge time over at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group.  This month we'd love to see your cards FOR THE KIDZ.

I've used Clunk Clunk for my inspiration.  I've gone for a black, white and orange theme for this one.

Clunk Clunk has been coloured with Copics, I've sketch out a little path for him as though he's going up hill.

He's been cut out with a LDRS die and I've used the same on for the black card frame.  There's a scattering of white embossing enamel (very difficult to heat on the frame without it blowing away I discovered!!)

My design papers are from Joy Craft and Glitz (I think that's who it is, it's had to tell from the cover).

The embellishments are two banners cut with a Fantasy die and three Dusty Attic cogs coloured with black Copic.

Hope you like my inspiration for today and we see you at the challenge.

Don't forget we also have a blog challenge which can be found here

I have the honour today of being a guest designer over at The Crazy Challenge.  their theme for the next two weeks is monochromatic - one of my favourites :)

I decided to do a guy card for my inspiration - I never do enough of them.  This image is from Scrapper Delight called Robot Chip 2.  I've coloured is with ProMarkers achieving a very pastel blue.

He's framed with some black card.  I've used design papers from Maja Design and Studio Lite.

I had some Dusty Attic cogs in my stash for ages,  I coloured these with blue ProMarker before putting them onto the card.

My only other embellishment are a few black gems.

Hope you like my inspiration for today
