Inkspirations Colour Challenge #54 - Owl's in Love

Hello Stampers,
Today's post is for the Inkspirations Colour Challenge this week.  Would you believe that this is the first time I have used the owl punch and I have had it since it first came out in the catalogue.  I don't know why it took me so long to use it, it is a very fun tool to play with.  I punched and embossed a lot of the design elements for this card, added plenty of bling and did very little stamping.

Card and Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree DSP
Ink:  Very Vanilla Craft, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Frost White Shimmer Paint

Punch Art by Pat Carr

Hello Friends,
In today's post I would like to feature a couple of cards my dear friend Pat Carr created.  The first one was for Andrea Buckland's weekend at Baldivis and Pat then used it at Stampin' Up's Perth Regionals as a swap.  It is a really cute punch art dog.

The second card Pat demonstrated at Stampin' Up's Perth Regionals, a mother Koala Bear and baby. Everyone one was in total awe of Pat's very special talent.

If you case these cards, please give Pat credit, I am not sure that Pat currently has a blog, so not able to link to it.  If I find one I will do so.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Hugs,

Baby Shower

Hi there,

Happy Australia Day!!

I have had a busy couple of days catching up after visiting family in Perth.  While I was there my youngest daughter had a baby shower and I made a similar card to these for her present.  I forgot to take a photo so I remade the card and changed a number of elements.  Thank's to Crystal Jakiko for the idea, I can't find my notes at the moment so I can link to her blog. 

I made my own template from an A5 piece of card, which is a lot smaller than Crystal's.  I used a couple of ideas from Pat Carr for the Babies head.  I used magnets to hold the card together and changed the positioning of the ribbon and only tied it to the front.

Supplies:

Stamps: Priceless

Card & Paper: Pretty in Pink, Blush Blossom, Whisper White, Print Patterns DP, Petals & Paisley DP (R)

Ink: Regal Rose, Pretty In Pink Marker

Embellishments: Organdy Ribbon

Tools: Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots EB Folder, 1 3/8" Punch, 1/2" Punch, Word Window Punch, Cropadile, Heart to Heart Punch, Large Oval Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch, Martha Stewarts Butterfly Punch, White Gel Pen, Dimensionals, Martha Stewart Screw Punch, Fine Black Pen, Sponge, Magnets, Computer & Printer

Leave a comment and let me know if you thinks it's cute.

Happy Stamping,
