Christmas Robot

Hi folks!

I see that there are a few new followers after the blog hop this past weekend, and want to extend a welcome to all of you new folks!  I couldn't believe how many folks came through my site for the blog hop....I received in the range of 500 comments!!!  I have to tell you, I usually return the love when it comes to commenting, so if you leave me a comment I'll come and visit you, but I had to break that rule this time round.   Even if I only spent 1 minute going to each site that would be 500 minutes or 8.3 hours!

Anyway,  today we have a fun card using a fresh image from Marker Guru.

The image is a freebie from MarkerGuru that is still available for a few more days, so get it while you can!    After that it will be in the shop.  It took all of 5 minutes to colour this, using my C1, T2 and T4 markers mainly, with some green and red etc. for embellishment.  In behind the robot you can see I airbrushed a bit of colour for a background.

The bow is made with my handy dandy bow-easy, and the sentiment is from an embossing folder.   An embossing folder, using the letterpress technique, was also used to create the poinsettia paper in the background.  Simply ink up the embossing folder before adding the paper.

I've got a couple of neat projects I've done up recently I'll be posting over the rest of the week, and I'm working on putting together a tutorial on a mini accordion album, so keep your eye out over the next couple of weeks for some new things!
