Playtime Fun

Well, it was a warm one today....but I'm not complaining...YET!    But really, that's only because I don't have to be outside.  I enjoy the summer and the sun, but I also enjoy my AC.  I remember years back, when the only comfort was a window screen and a fan....I don't know how we did it!


So how about a card with some nice cool colours....some soft creme/beige DP from my stash, along with a couple of Cosmo Cricket pieces from the Wanted pack.  As the kids are on vacation now, looking for something to do....the Robot Boy image from Just Inklined, seemed like perfect playtime inspiration!  After colouring with Prismas, I've used the out of the box technique (or circle in this case).  I've sponged the outer edge with blue DI, then added yellow chalk to the centre area to give it some glow, then another layer made with my Nestie die.

For the layout, I've actually followed a sketch!  Not something I do too often, but I really liked this one from Sketch Saturday.

The two stripes on the right edge are drawn in using a stencil, and then I've added stickles for accents.  The sentiment is from Crafts4Eternity.

So find out those boxes, and let the kiddies have some fun ..... you might just get some peace and quiet for some crafty time!

    Wonderful card with great colors and coloring for a youngster. Great idea to use a touch of yellow in the center.
