Already Wednesday? What a crazy week. My littles have been asserting their 19 month independence lately and it's beyond exhausting. Seriously, bone weary exhausting. So I haven't had much time for stamping lately. I found this card using Geared Up in my photo archives that never made it to my blog, so I thought I'd share it today.
I needed a birthday card for a 1 year old girl and so I decided to dress my retro bot in pink and black. The photo looks a little off in color, but the two tones I used were strawberry slush and blushing bride. I thought the number fit well in the little embossed hexagons, so stamped it repeatedly in a little pattern as the background for the card. The bot from Geared Up is stamped on blushing bride and I paper pieced the body and hat for a little dimension and easy color. The body is stamped lightly with some of the smaller gear shapes, then I added the 1 to the center. The sentiment is stamped onto a die cut from the Flag-It Die Set and I paper pieced one of the gear stamped images onto a black pinking circle for a fun paper embellishment. I finished off with some Pastel Sequin Mix and a Metal Mix Sequin.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

So darn cute Julee! Wouldn't this be a great birthday card for a little one, TFS ... Carole
What a super cute card Julee. Great textures and colors.
I can certainly understand. While I don't have a little one under foot at home anymore I am a teacher... I totally love my job but it can sure be an energy suck. lol.
Crafting will wait for you. Enjoy those sweet little ones they'll be grown before you know it. {mine is 24}
