These robots are digital images (how fitting hey?) from My Favourite things. I just love the smitten look on their faces, so I got romantic with the sentiment... it says "I'm nuts (and bolts) about you" (because the altered container is a container of pistachio nuts from the grocery store--all dressed up.) And the vellum print-out from the robot's chest says "You sizzle my circuits" heehee :o)
There's lots of chain on here too--stitched and hanging. (I got the chain at the dollar store.)
My Favorite Things Robots2 digi image
printed on Heidi Swapp crazy love and painted with Matte medium to emboss the digital image (it keeps the ink wet long enough to hold clear embossing powder for heat setting out of an inkjet printer.)
Computer printed sentiments(embossed on vellum)
Dark Gray cardstock
The flowered paper is Basic Grey Sultry Dressy SUL-1154 (some is painted with a bit of gesso to take the contrast down)
Silver button, silver thread
Paper piercer & needle
Pink Organza ribbon
Thanks so much for looking!
:o)

I love the idea of the printout from his chest - do you remember Clunky from Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and him printing out the "Word of the Day"? When anyone says the secret word, EVERYBODY SCREAM! lol
I love the combo of patterned paper you used - floral wouldn't be a go-to for robots, but it is just perfect here Thanks for the inspiration, as always!
