A couple of punches

Good Morning All

Hope you're all well.  Ready for another day of sunshine and showers, let's hope there's more of the sunshine!

As I mentioned a couple of blog post's ago, I've been trying a few different designs.  While this card is very "girly" it can just as easily be done for a man using two masculine colour's for your cardstock and masculine stamp set.

I've used gorgeous stamp set's and the co-ordinating punches.  So much easier and quicker than cutting around your stamped images which is one of the distinct advantages of Stampin' Up! products, there are loads of co-ordinating stamp set's and punches.  If you're thinking that everything co-ordinates beautifully, well that's because I've also used the co-ordinating stampin pastels, giving a lovely soft chalky finish.

Stamp set's used: Punch Potpourri (hostess) and Cheer and Wishes
Punches used: Two-Step Bird Extra-Large and Boho Blossoms Extra-Large
Embossing folder used: Perfect Polka Dots
