Punched Background

Our stamp groups challenge for last week was to do a punched background of one item over and over again and then to add a stamp on top.  I went through my punches and decided to use my butterfly punch and then looked for a stamp to go with it. I haven't used this stamp in quite sometime and it even comes with a die to cut it out so no need to fussy cut.

I meant to do the whole background with punched butterflies but didn't measure things out correctly so I added a piece of patterned paper to the base. I colored the butterflies with markers and added a die cut sentiment.

Martha Stewart - Butterfly punch
Our Daily Bread designs - Faith, colored w/markers
Die- Versions - Blessings die
Quick cards magazine - Floral papers

I have found that it is ok to punch out one or two items but wow anymore than that and my hands have a hard time with it, after this project I am so thankful for whoever thought to make dies to cut out our goodies :)  I can remember the first punch I bought and thought that was the neatest thing ever.  I still have all my punches too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

Hugs,
