I Have a ScrewLoose!

If you don't have a ScrewLoose, or a Sparky, then you need one or more!  They are two of the cutest little robots you will ever find and some of the newest characters at Stampendous!  We've been  celebrating their arrival all week long and today I have a fun little card to share that's perfect for a little boy (or girl!).  ScrewLoose looks a little rusty but that's actually a reflection on the chrome tape!

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® ScrewLoose and Sparky Perfectly Clear™ Stamps Set

DecoArt® Americana® Spa Blue Acrylic Paint

DecoArt® Americana® Hauser Light Green Acrylic Paint

DecoArt® Americana® Lemonade Acrylic Paint

DecoArt® Americana® Multi-Surface Satin™ Cottonball Acrylic Paint

StāzOn® Jet Black Ink Pad by Tsukineko®

Faber-Castell® PITT Pens in Black, Cold Grey III, Cold Grey IV, Cold Grey VI

Copic® Markers E07, E08

Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White Cover Stock

Limeade Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

Miscellaneous Items - Gear, Wire, Metal Flashing, Chrome Tape (for HVAC systems)

Beacon® 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue

Here's what I did to create this card:

Create A2 horizontal card base with a tent fold from green cardstock

Trim a piece of white cardstock to fit on front of card base

Add light green paint across the bottom of the white cs

Add blue paint on the rest of the white space, set aside to dry

Cut out doghouse shapes from flashing, set aside

Stamp ScrewLoose on chrome tape and cut out

Stamp Sparky on chrome tape and cut out

Add darker green paint with a flat brush in upward strokes to create grass

Using fingertip, create clouds on sky, set aside to dry

Using scrap of paper, create Sparky sign and attach with wire to gear

Adhere doghouse pieces to card front

Adhere Sparky's sign to front of dog house

With Faber-Castell® PITT pens, darken inside of doghouse using lightest grey on bottom and getting  darker as you go up

Adhere Sparky inside doghouse

Adhere ScrewLoose beside doghouse and stamp sentiment on screen

Using Copics®, add color to Sparky and a little "rust" to doghouse and sign

This is such a simple card to create and I think it's perfect for a boy even though it would work for a girl, too.  I just love these little robots and I know you will, too!  Be sure to check out the rest of my teammates projects here:
