Craft-robo

Yesterday I dusted off my craft-robo and set about making some die cuts from my old card stock.
A :- to clear some place.
B :- so I had some shapes ready to use.

I cut out scalloped ovals,flowers of various shapes and sizes,butterflies,boxes the list goes on....

Anyway, I wanted to make a card with all my die cuts.

Catch the bug has a sketch this week so I went for this.

All elements were cut on my craft-robo and the image  is a freebie at Bugaboo stamps this week ( you will see I've already him on Friday's post) was print onto the sheet before cutting out with the robo.

On removing the letters I lost the center to the 'O' and 'R's so couldn't put them in.

I added gems to the center of the flowers to finish the card.

You have to choose a row and make a card with those 3 elements.easy I here you say, Till I went for the middle row Easel card, step card and shaped card. I do like to make thing hard for myself.

Paul my other half loves horror and zombie film so I went for a tomb stone shaped card and added a step card to use as my easel front I have used a Grim as a stopper to my easel..

I have used the Zane and Grim images and added a few more tomb stones.

This has taken a few days to do as I could only work in it when Paul was not in the craftroom, but at last here it is.
