Let's Craft and Create Challenge # 173 AG Option Punch It!

 

It's that time again for a new challenge over at Let's Craft and Create. The new challenge is Anything Goes PUNCH IT! - (Use a hand punch and/or die).  I don't own a lot of punches so this one was a bit of a challenge for me. So I took to Pinterest for some inspiration. This is what I came up with.

I started with some heavyweight white card stock that I cut, scored and folded to make a 41/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  I cut a mat using some yellow gold colored pattern paper from the Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes 6" X 6" paper pad. I cut it to 4 1/8" X 5 3/8".

I then cut down a piece of weight card stock to 4" X 5 1/4". I also cut my patterned paper down to 4" X 5 1/4". The pattern paper is from the Bo Bunny You're Invited 6" X 6" paper pad. Next I took a wild leap of faith and put my white card stock in my paper trimmer at a bit of a diagonal and eye balling it cut my card stock. It was the perfect size. I then used my white card stock as a bit of a template to cut my pattern paper at just the right angle. It worked!

Next came the important decision of which of my punches I wanted to use. I decided on this scalloped punch from EK Success.  After punching it I laid everything out on my card. I decided I did not like the look with the pattern paper showing through the openings. I had a scrap of the watercolor wishes left so I adhered that behind the scallops then cut off the excess. I liked that much better.

Finally it was time to start adhering everything. I used some liquid adhesive to adhere my pattern paper to the yellow paper. Next I used some foam tape to adhere my white card stock to the yellow paper. Now time for a sentiment. I decided on this Thanks die from Simon Says Stamp. I cut the shadow out of black and the top layer out of white card stock. I adhered them together with some liquid glue. I then adhered it to my card front also with some liquid glue.

My sub sentiment came from the Reverse Confetti So Many Sentiments stamp set. I used Versamark Ink to stamp it on some black card stock. I added some Simon Says Stamp Detail White Embossing powder to it and heat set that. I then used a MFT Oval Word Die to cut out my sentiment.

 

I added some yellow sequins to the scallops using sequins from a Simon Says Stamp Pineapple Sequins mix. I then adhered my card front to my card base using liquid adhesive.
