Greetings!
Ever since the Bough Punch was introduced a couple years ago, I have been wishing there was a stamp set to go with it. This year my wish came true! The Layering Leaves stamp set has multiple images designed for the Bough Punch as well as some fabulous sentiments in a lovely, looping font. When my order arrived earlier this week, I couldn't wait to get that stamp set out and play!
I wanted to make sure and create a card that used only punches. Since the stamp set and punch provide the greenery and flowers, I wanted a vessel to hold the bouquet, so Double Oval Punch to the rescue. I opted to use the scalloped oval and simply snipped off the top and bottom to create the vase for my bouquet. It's a great way to make a quick vase!
Isn't it adorable! The large single leaf is a wonderful addition in the Layering Leaves stamp set, and even though there is no punch for it, the simple shape is easily cut out with the Paper Snips.
After punching the "vase" out of the strip of Cajun Craze cardstock, when trying to figure out my background mat layers, I slid the cardstock strip in behind the Basic White cardstock panel and thought; perfect! You only know there is a scalloped oval shape missing out of the piece because I'm telling you ;-). It's a great way to get the most out of a piece of cardstock.
The background on the Basic White layer was easily created by using the splatter stamp that's included in the Layering Leaves set. I simply used the same ink pads I used for stamping the leaves and did an Ombre' effect for the background.
