The new Two-step Bird Punch is just so cute, I have been getting plenty of use out of it already! I stamped the new "Dot, Dot, Dot" background stamp onto my punched out bird in the same colour as the cardstock to give a tone on tone effect and then daubered around the edges and adhered the wings. Using the punch again I punched out an Old Olive branch for the bird to sit on!
The patterned paper is from the "Tea Party" Designer Series Pack and I have added punched out circles using the 1 1/4 and 1" punches, cutting the smallest first to end up with a ring. My Old Olive flower is from the Flower Fusion Accents & Elements collection, a really lovely tin full of felt flowers which you can find on Page 83 of the 2009/10 Idea Book and Catalogue. Next to this I added two buttons tied with Linen Thread and adhered an Old Olive button on top of the felt flower. I tied a piece of 1/4" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon around my main panel and stamped my greeting from the "Basic Phrases" set and punched out using the Word Window Punch.
This is lovely. Where do your ideas come from??? My bird punch arrives tomorrow so I cant wait to play with it. X Sorry I couldn't make monday I am still without a car as windscreen cannot be replaced until next wednesday...
