Crafty Challenge Blog Hop Today - Color Challenge with a bit of Punch Art!!!

Hey Crafty Friends!!! Welcome to another Crafty Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by the Crafty Collaborations Group. For September, we have a color challenge using Basic Black, Garden Green, Fresh Freesia and Smoky Slate. I added some punch art for another creative challenge I have with the DOstamperSTARS.

Instructions:
  1. Start with 11" x 4 1/4" card base, score and fold at 5 1/2".
  2. Punch three circles with Decorative Circle Punch from Fresh Freesia cardstock. Spritz circles with water, scrunch them up,  unfold the circles and let dry.  Leave them slightly cupped while drying. 
  3. Cut Smoky Slate stamped layer 5" x 3 3/4" and stamp stem from Sending Smiles Stamp set in Garden Green ink.  Stamp chosen sentiment in Smoky Slate. 
  4. Cut Basic Black accent layer 4" x 5 1/4", adhere Fresh Freesia stamped layer, and then adhere layers to card base. 
  5. Use liquid glue to adhere dried circles together and attach to card base with glue dots.  
  6. Add desired number of Pastel Pearls.  


It has been so long since I have attempted any punch art, the Decorative Circle Punch is perfect for this simple punch art flower card.
