Manly Monday Orange Robot Card

Welcome to Manly Monday where I put the guy cards in the spotlight. You won't find flowers in this post. So after you take a quick look at my card scroll down to check out the other cards.


I have been crazy wild for THIS stamp set that I bought at Oriental Trading Co. The price is $2.19 for a full 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of clear stamps that includes words, gears, and well, robots. Remember last week's card-HERE-I used the same stamp set and got a totally different look. 

I stamped the robot onto Strathmore watercolor paper with Hero Arts black ink. I used distress markers from Ranger to color in the image and their Glossy Accents on the gauges. The die cut the image is on is by Spellbinders. The background patterned paper is by We R Memory Keepers. I dry embossed a strip of the Strathmore cardstock and inked it lightly with Ranger Distress ink Pumice Stone. The embossing folder is by Darice. The rest of my supplies; are black cardstock by Recollections, circle punch by Stampin Up/EK Success, sentiment stamp by Stamp N Plus, and craft ink by Stampin Up.
