Hello! It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. It’s a fun sketch this week and I couldn’t wait to use my new Nuts & Bolts stamp set from the Jan-June Mini Catalog!

NUTS & BOLTS

I LOVE the robots and the “punny” greetings in this set!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Gray Granite cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded to form the base.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock is embossed with the Hammered Embossing Folder and added to the front.
A 2-1/2 x 4-1/2 piece of Brick pattern Bloom Where You Are Planted Designer Paper was added in the center.
The robot from Nuts & Bolts was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends. The ground was stamped with Gray Granite Ink.
It was cut with the Layering Circle and attached to a Scallop Layering Circle cut from Basic Black cardstock. The circles were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Nuts & Bolts was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock and cut with a point on the end. It was added to the front over the bottom of the circle.
A trio of copper Brushed Metallic Dots were added to the background.

I’m saying it again…isn’t he adorable? LOVE this set! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
