DT Ett trykk: Issue 04/10 Punch(es)

In our issue 04/10 of Ett trykk, we made an article on how to use one set of punches in different ways.

I did use the punches in one of the most usual ways - to make a frame around the card :)

This is actually the birthday card my nephew got for his 4th birthday a month ago.
Even though he's quite young, his favourite activity is to go fishing :)

Card recipe:

Size: 15 x 15 cm

Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee for stamping, Distress Ink - Refills for colouring.

Stamps: Lili of the Valley - "Gone Fishing", Storyteller - text.

Papers: BoBunny - DP's, DCWV - Linen Closet DP's, Bazzill - vanilla & turqouise cardstock, Canson - Montval aquarellpaper.

Tools: Martha Stewart - set of corner- & edge punch, Spellbinders - Nesting Label 1.

Ebellishments: Rhinestones.

The 6 sided paper pieces (I don't know what it's called in English;) of DP's is cut out from the DCWV DP, and mounted with glue pads in different hights.

Thanks again for peeking in - have a lovely day!
