Riveting Robot

This weeks HAMBO STAMPS digital Image is "ROBOT", you can purchase it here. This week is a sketch challenge drawn by the super talented Lyn. I adore robot images and as soon as I saw it I remembered seeing a metal tape art video on youtube last week, and as I was itching to have a go at this I thought this is the perfect image to go with that technique, so off I went to the local hardware store and purchased some self adhesive metallic tape, some plasterboard (drywall) tape, and some black acrylic paint.  I totally loved doing this and was soon looking all around my house searching for things I can use this metal tape art on..... frames, canvasses, etc. The sentiment is "Feeling rusty?" so I die cut the letters from rusty and glued them on my cardstock before adding the metal tape over the top, seriously you should have a go at this, it is fun and super easy, somewhat time consuming but the end result is worth it. Here is the sketch and the finished card.
