Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #21

April 16th, 2010 by Louise

Hi all. I’ll get straight into it today as I’m still away and this post has actually been done ahead of time. The wonders of technology hey?

This week Keesh at Inkspirations has set a sketch challenge which I guess is probably my favourite kind because once you have a basis for your design, the rest seems to follow.

Here is Keesh’s sketch:

and here is my card:

Stamp set:  Lots of Bots (new in Autumn/Winter Mini)
Cardstock:  Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
Inks:  Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip
Accessories:  Big Shot Perfect Polka Dot embossing die, Circle Scissors Plus, Aquapainter, wide Choc Chip ribbon, jumbo brads, Curly Label punch, daubers for sponging

I hope you like this.  I was quite happy with it when it was finished although I changed my base colours a few times before I settled on these.  I restamped and cut his ‘belly’ section to make him come to life a little more. 

Be sure to pop in and check out the other Design Team members to see their creations and then get to it and make your own and go to Mr Linky on Keesh’s blog to upload your card.

   I looked at the sketch, thought “I want to use ‘Lots of Bots’ for this one, scrolled down & went aaarrrgh. Back to the drawing board LOL.
   Great job, really like the use of curly label punch & the colours are fab!

   Hey, look at that – we both used robot images and a curly tag for our sentiment. Isn’t that funny? Love how your version turned out

   You must be loving that set having the two boys, I’m sure you will get lots of use out of it.

   I love the card, lovely bright colours and the polka dot background is perfect. I got my bigshot yesterday, the cuttlebug has a new home with my mum. Just have to wait till next week for that embossing die.

   Take care, have a lovely week.

    So cute Lou – I love my Lots of Bots set too! I like your clever idea of popping up the robot’s middle, will have to try it out. Love how you did the curly label too!
