Garden From The Heart with Bird Punch

Hello! Today's project is one that will be a make & take at a workshop this weekend. I've had several workshops with this group of women, so I wanted to show them how to color with our Stampin' Pastels this time. 

The stamp from Garden from the Heart stamp set was inked in Basic Brown Ink, which is a waterproof ink, (good for watercoloring). Using a blender pen, I picked up Taken With Teal chalk and colored in the bird. After scribbling off the excess color onto my scratch paper, I then used the Pumpkin Pie Chalk. Have you used our Stampin' Pastels yet? I love that you get all 48 colors plus black, white, and gray.

Bring out the artist in yourself with our Stampin’ Pastels. You’ll be amazed at how easy you can achieve a beautiful, soft look with our pastels.  ■ Artist quality pastels in exclusive Stampin' Up! colors ■ Includes 6 applicators and an eraser ■ Oil free ■ Works well on matte-finish papers

The stamped image was punched with the Curly Label Punch, and 3 other pieces were also punched from So Saffron Cardstock and from the new Sweet Pea DSP. This is not a typical color-combo for me, but I like it!

The punched bird was made using our brand new Two-Step Bird punch. The new style of punch is awesome! Still great quality punch, but locks closed to take up less space. His body was punched from Taken With Teal cardstock, and his wing is from Sweet Pea DSP. His body was popped up on dimensionals, and his wing got even more lift with another one.

2 Step Bird Punch 117191 Price: $15.95 Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, and color to your cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. You can glue punched shapes directly onto your projects or layer a sheet of card stock that has been punched over a coordinating card stock for a reverse effect. The large cutting surface of our punches give you better punching leverage and cutting precision, and the sleeker body makes it easy to store. ■ Adds interest to scrapbook pages and cards  ■ Has an easy-to-use thumb lever
