Crafty Cow Creations: punch

my final week here at just add ink

hope i have inspired some of you to take out your punches and use them :)

this week's inspiration is a sketch

quite unusual i must say

initially i was inspired to do an invader zim card

but figured he may be a bit too obscure for most of you lol

so went with my second inspiration of a fishing card

here is my take on this week's sketch

i used a variety of oval and circle punches to make this card.

i also went through all my blue and green leftover pieces of card and used them to get all the different colours

the fishlips are the heart punch and the eye is the ornament punch

inside i kept the theme going with the leftover punched out bits and using the same sentiment.

my fish hook is a paperclip and i added some sequins to add some bling

here you can see the many many layers i have made!!!

welcome from Keryn Campbell's blog

i am showing off the new bow tie punch in the new catalogue as well as the painted petals stamp set
here are my creations!!!

if you know me you will know that when i get a new punch i have to try it out and see what else it does apart from the obvious...i mean why get a bow tie punch and ONLY use it for bow ties right??!??

first card is a fairy card.
i used the bow tie punch for the fairy body, wings, mushroom bottom, fairy arms and legs and crown.
background is done with the painted petals stamp set

inside i kept the same theme going with the stamps

this card is a cute little (albeit a bit weird lol), pukeko-a native new zealand bird that is just the most silliest but most awesome bird there is.
here it is made from the bow tie punch with painted petals in the background.
i also brought out my fringe scissors for the grass and the bird punch for the shrubs.
