Simply Stampin' Challenge - Punch Art - Anniversary card

Hello everyone, it seems to be brightening up here - fingers crossed!

I woke up and knew that I had to have a go at the simply stampin' challenge, which for this week is Punch Art, beginning of September is a busy month with birthdays and anniversaries, so I thought I'd start with this one - it's going to be for my aunt and uncle who live in Malta and go swimming every day, so this fitted it in nicely!

So here it is, which punches do you think I used?

Stamp Set - Build a blossom

 Designer Series paper

Cardstock - Crumb Cake, Tempting Tourqiose, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red

Accessories - 2 step Owl punch, Ornament Punch, Extra Large Bird Punch, 3 Heart Punch

So let's see if you guessed right - I used the ornament punch for the fish, the bird punch for the seaweed and the fins/tail. I also used the owl punch for the eyes and the 3 heart punch for the mouth! I love it! I saw this once on the internet, I think her name is Miriam, so thanks for sharing and hope you all like. As always, I love reading your comments!

until next time

Another Mojo Monday...

Maybe I ought to call it 'Task for Tuesday' as I always seem to find the time to do it on a Tuesday for some reason and not so much a Monday. Hey ho...Here it is, I had this idea when I saw the sketch and I had seen something similar done online (not sure where, but thank you!). This is going to a couple who will be celebrating something very special this weekend. So it had a real purpose.  

I used brown card and ribbon I already had. I used Melon Mamba ink to sponge the pink petals and for the middle. I also used Old Olive DSP and the same in pink to contrast. The Scallop edge to give the Old Olive a different finish. Oh and I used the Ornament Punch for the petals...did anyone guess that, I was amazed when I first saw this done! Again, another very versatile punch from SU. Hope you like it!
