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!
- 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.
