These stamps take me back to my now-adult sons' toys. I'm sure the eldest had a robot just like the one in Boys Will Be Boys, and my third son was mad for those little men that parachute. Wooden blocks, Duplo, and Lego for the bigger boys, were a regular part of their lives. Now those toys have been taken out of storage and hang around the house for the grandsons to play with when they are over.I've used a combination of Stampin' Write Markers, ink pads and an Aquapainter to colour the stamped images. In the spirit of the challenge I've stayed with Marina Mist, Old Olive and Real Red for this birthday card, but I'm sure there ought to be a yellow Duplo too, so perhaps I will colour the last one later!
The tabs in red and green were cut using the Project Life Cards and Labels and finished off with those cute silver metal buttons. That kind of reminds me of the overalls I used to dress them in!!!! Oh, such happy memories.....
What will you make using those colours? Don't forget to add it to Case-ing The Catty.
