We are sponsored this month by Dilly Beans Stamps

and I have used image # 439 - Wired Robot Framed

I love his little embossed face and his big bug eyes! 

This little guy was printed 3 times, once on regular card stock and twice over Aluminium Tape which was adhered over copy paper. ( Heat embossing it each time. ) Cut the antenna out from one image and adhered it over the card stock image. Then cut the eyes out from the other image and pop dotted them over the the card stock image.

I have to admit that I wouldn't have added the heart on my own, but sometimes God likes to craft along beside me and he had me smudge the corner, and he also guided me to find something to cover it. Now that it's done I think the red heart was a perfect addition and cannot imagine it not being there.

Challenges 4 Everybody - #20 Anything Goes ( 1st entry )
Sparkles Monthly Challenge - #44 Monochromatic ( 1st entry )

Well, some of you might remember that I am working on using up the Gelli prints sheets from the other day. This one is created from one of the run off sheets. 2 different ones to be exact but I think they make a lovely combination together.

I embossed the background with my wood grain embossing plate, topped off with a little bit of ink to help bring out the texture.

 My favorites are the leaves which I fussy cut out after embossing!

Moxie Fab - The Wonder of Watercolor Challenge

For anyone who thinks they cannot use digital stamps because they have the wrong kind of printer ( me ) ....this is what I do. I print out the image and use my light box to trace over it with a waterproof pen and then color the image in. Of course, this can be done best with a simple design, nothing too complicated. 

I gave the background a light blue grey wash of color, then painted in the balloons. Next I laid my water color paper over the printed digital image and traced. I drew the image in 2 steps, the squirrel was first: angled a little bit, then tilted my paper back a little so the word hi would be a straighter. Next, I outlined the balloons...finis!
