Another Punch Art card to show you and this is my attempt at Snoopy. Again there are several versions out there in blogland and all slightly different so impossible to credit the originator. My Snoopy was made with ovals, circles and the Blossom Petals punches with Whisper White and Basic Black and his kennel with Real Red cardstock which was embossed first with the Stripes Embossing Folder. The card blank was sponged with Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue and stamped with a stamp from Pocket Silhouettes before the dog and kennel were glued in place. Part of a sentiment stamp was coloured with a Real Red marker and punched with the Modern Label Punch.

Beautiful Butterflies

I got the idea for today's card from an American demo, Tami White, who had CASE'd hers from an 'unknown' demo! I started by cutting a mask from the Beautiful Butterflies die using acetate, which is a brilliant tip in itself. When making masks before I have always used a card scrap, however by using acetate not only do the sponge daubers glide much more easily but you can clean the mask and re-use. Anyway I digress. The mask was fixed to a piece of Whisper White card using a tiny bit of re-positionable glue runner and, using sponge daubers, I added Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie to colour the butterfly. Leaving the mask in position I then used an image from Pocket Silhouettes and stamped in Basic Black. The butterfly was cut out by hand and matted onto a piece of Whisper White which had already been stamped in So Saffron with the small butterfly stamp from Cottage Garden. This was placed on a mat of So Saffron and Marina Mist before fixing to a card blank. The sentiment is part of a stamp from Create a Cupcake, inked with a marker pen and punched with the Modern Label Punch.
