3-Gingham Cats #DOswts334 Inspiration Hop


Hey Crafty Friends!!  How about some punch art today?  I created this card for a team challenge with the DOStamper STARs.  I enjoy punch art and this one was a bit of a challenge. Thank goodness for Pinterest--my inspiration hot spot.  Here are 3 clever cats made using colors from the Brights Collection.  I really like the Brights, so cheerful this time of year. 


Card Details
  • Paper
    • Daffodil Delight 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
    • Granny Apple Green layer 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
    • Whisper White layer 5 1/4" x 4"
    • Melon Mambo, Pool Party, and Daffodil Delight scraps for faces
    • Brights DSP 2" x 3" 
  • Stamps
    • Itty Bitty Greetings
  • Ink
    • Pacific Point Ink
    • Basic Black Stampn' Writer
  • Tools/Embellishments
    • 2 1/4" Circle Punch
    • 2"  Circle Punch
    • 1 1/4"  Circle Punch 
    • 1" Circle Punch
    • Noble Peacock Rhinestones

Tip:  I lined up the DSP with center of punch to make the body.  I found it was easier to punch a half circle than cutting a circle in half with a scissor.  The nose and whiskers were free handed -- I am definitely not a artist. lol.  Popped the heads up with a few mini dimensionals. The rhinestone eyes remind me of cat eyes in the dark.  I think this card needs a video.  Hopefully soon.
