I have been working on my convention swaps today. I have one to share! It is based on the Mojo Monday sketch #195. It uses two new hostess sets from the upcoming 2011-12 Stampin Up catalog called Posy Punch and Perfect Words. The Posy Punch works with the Fancy Flower Punch. So easy peasy to punch out those posies! I made a boat load of these. But, you know what, there are a stinkin' lot of pieces to this card!! Took me forever and a day to get them all assembled! Two pieces ran through the Big Shot to be embossed, lots of sponging...I kill myself with work sometimes! But, I get that bee in my bonnet and stubbornly keep with the original plan to make a boat load to swap.
I can't see the sponging in the picture? The middle circles are sponged as are the rims of the posies. The sentiment flag is also sponged. (They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Some of the words in this picture are missing since the picture is not clearly representing real life!) The leaves are actually the wings on the bird from the 2-step bird punch. Love making the easy leaves. Lots of gold brads too. Six per swap!! But I just likey the way they looky, so no changey, changey!
