Birthday Robots from La-La Land Crafts

Today I am back with another fun birthday card featuring images from La-La Land Crafts.   I love Birthday Robots and it was perfect for a card for a boy.    I used the digi version but you can also get rubber as well.

There's still time to join this month's challenge over in the Spectrum Noir Creative Community on Facebook where the theme is birthday!

I printed the digi on Neenah Classic Crest card and then cut with my Scan N Cut.

I colored with Illustrators-

BG2, BG4, BG7

DR2, DR4, DR7

OR1, OR3

GYI, GY2

IB1, IB3

SN Gold Metallic Marker

I wanted a long skinny card so I made my base 4" x 8".

I pulled some pattern paper from my stash that coordinated with the image and then some cardstock as well.  

I cut some gear cogs and balloons and stars on my Silhouette and then cut the Happy Birthday sentiment die with coordinating paper.

I bought this die back before I did a better job of labeling so I am not sure the vendor.

I popped some items up with foam tape and others kept flat.

I added a few enamel dots from Doodlebug in coordinating colors.  

And here you have it a fun birthday card for a boy!

Hope you enjoyed. See you soon!

I used the envelopes border die that I received in my Club La-La Land Crafts kit this month, and some Sizzix Nestabilities Heart dies so add a bit more to my card.

I decided to omit a sentiment for now as I will most likely give to my hubby for Valentine's Day and am not sure if I want something funny and snarky (after 15 years I can go funny) or sweet and romantic.  

I absolutely love how this one turned out.   

Hope you enjoyed!

Monthly challenge with Spectrum Noir

Happy February!

Today starts a new monthly challenge over in the Spectrum Noir Creative Community.   This month is all about Birthdays!    I don't know about you but I am always reaching for birthday cards.  

I absolutely love coloring flowers so I decided to reach for this digi from Power Poppy Stamps- Dahlia.  I used the digi version but they do have a clear stamp available also.

I printed the digi on Neenah Classic Crest Card Pack A4 Solar White cardstock.  

I love digis because you can make them any size you want!

I used a very simple color scheme marker wise- Illustrators PV1, PV2, PV3, PV4

After coloring I fussy cut and then cut to where it fit in the corner of the card.

I used some foam tape to pop up the flower and placed in the corner of a 5.25 x 5.25 piece of Neenah Classic Cardstock.   I used my distressing tool to distress the edges and then used Harmony by Spectrum Noir Water Reactive ink in Crushed Velvet and inked the edges.   I then mounted on a pirce of 5.5 x 5.5 purple cardstock and again distressed the edges.

I added some purple enamel dots and cut my sentiment that I typed myself into a banner flag piece and curled a little for some dimension.

You can join in the challenge in the Spectrum Noir Creative Community on Facebook for a chance to win $30 worth of products.

Hope you join us!  

See you soon!
