Space...the final frontier

This Baby Bot Sweet Petite die from Die-Versions is so darn cute and fun to play with.  

The one on top is cut from regular cardstock and his features came from the negative portions of the Super Robot (also a new release).  He's colored with Inka Gold metallic rubs.  The bottom guy is actually cut from a soda can.  This is the first tie I've tried cutting a can because I always thought it would be too hard to get the top and bottom of the can off.  Nope - I was wrong.  Easy, peasy!  And these dies cut the soda can like it was butter.

The background is a Tim Holtz technique - layering acrylic paint, Distress Stains and Distress Ink onto your craft mat, spritzing with water, and dabbing the tag into the puddles.  The stamped globe is actually made from fun foam and the DV Old Globe West die and stamped with Archival Ink.  The title/sentiment is a combination of DV fonts Tick Tock and Little Lizzie. 

Space Family Portrait

Can you believe it's already time for a new release from Die-Versions?  The days are just whizzing by.  This release is all about Boys, Boys, Boys.

I'm debuting two of the new dies with this Space Family portrait (right now I have the Jetson's theme running through my head :-).....meet George  Jetson and his lovely wife, Jane.  His boy Elroy....)  So, seated in his comfy chair is the new Whispers Super Robot and on the left is the Sweet Petites Baby Bot.  Both of these die cuts are made from a soda can and the Die-Versions dies cut this thin metal with ease!

On the right is his "wife", Spacey, a digi image from Mayzy Arts.  She's been all dolled up with Copic markers and Spica glitter pen.  The rest of the cozy setting is a rubber stamp from CC Designs.  I've paper pieced the chair and the lamp shade and added a bit of glitter.  As you can see with the photo on the right, there is also lots of dimension.  The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Unity Stamps.  Glossy Accents was added for more shimmer.
