Toy Box Robot

 

Today is my hubby's birthday and this is the birthday card I made for him. He is into tech and gadgets and whilst looking for an aftershave for him I saw this cool new one shaped in a Robot bottle so it inspired me to make a co-ordinating card with the same industrial feel to it.

At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.

The image is from the Toy Box Stamps pack. There are so many great stamps depicting well loved toys for little kids and big ones too.

I chose to use a masculine colour scheme of greys, blue and black. The robot is coloured with Promarkers and a fine liner for the small details.

I used a self adhesive foiled 'paper' for the grid background. I bought a pack of 5 from Hobbycraft probably 15 years ago. This has been added onto a blue card blank. The patterned paper is a snippet from a Ki Memories sheet I actually used for his card last year and then I just trimmed it with a black cardstock border.

The sentiment is an old freebie from Birds Cards. It is from 2012 and still available to download. Just follow the link. There are loads of free digis and SVG files on this blog and is a great resource.

For anyone interested this is the inside of the gift box with shower gel. It is called Phantom from Paco Rabanne and smells really nice, citrus, vanilla and lavender.

Over at Kate Hadfield Designs there is lots going on. Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.
