Weekly Inspiration - Punch Art

Punch Art

This week I have had lots of fun doing what my grandchildren love to do. 

Punching!

That is, literally, using the amazing Stampin' Up! punches.

This first project is using the wonderful Elegant Butterfly (the larger image) and the Bitty Butterfly.

  

This is made on an 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) circle. To get this I did what we used to do as children and drew around an upside down bowl and cut it out!

Set onto a 12" by 12" Whisper White card and So Saffron cardstock mat.

I used a mixture from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack for the butterflies. 

Adhered to the circle with Mini Glue Dots and raised the wings to add more dimension.

The intention is to put this in a frame and put on the wall.

You can just see the Bitty Butterfly punch that I used to support it.

Any way before I get completely carried away and my bank account suffers any more take a look at what we've been up to using our sneak peek products to create for today's Stampin' Stars blog hop.

If you've just arrived from the lovely Nicky's blog over at http://www.nickyjohncock.blogspot.co.uk/ then welcome and if you haven't be sure to pop over and see her inspiring project :)

Well here is my project.
The card is a fun 3d frame card made using whisper white card stock and a mat of melon mambo card stock to highlight the stamped and embossed image.

Made using the lovely Wildflower Meadow single stamp and co-ordinating texture embossing folder  

The card also uses the scallop trim border punch

and the gorgeous bitty butterfly and elegant butterfly punches.

 The colours used are melon mambo, daffodil delight and pear pizzaz. The colour combo was inspired by the paper in the background of the photo. This beautiful paper is from the gingham garden designer series paper.
