Challenge #117: Technique - punches

Hi everyone!

It's Rosey here this week, as Georgina is going through a hectic time at the moment. Sorry about the delay in posting Friday's challenge, but better late than never. :-)

Georgina has chosen a good technique challenge for us all: PUNCHES

How many different ways can you put your punches to good use? If you have lots of flower punches, you might want to layer them up. Maybe you have confetti punches - try scattering them about and see what happens. If border punches are your addiction then see how many you can use in the same LO. Be innovative! Show us what you can do!

Here are a few pages from the DT to get your creative juices flowing.

See how Nilsa has used border punches not only to create borders but also to make her own embellishments. Aren't those frames just adorable?


I went down the scattering route, and made full use of both my butterfly punches, cutting them in half to make resting butterflies. I also used a corner punch on the actual photos. I had my usual problems photographing black, but you get the idea I hope.


I also made a card using the confetti idea with my smallest leaf punch. This is great for using up those teeny pieces of beautiful paper without wasting them.


Can you think of any other ways to use your punches? We'd love to see your ideas. Link your project up to us here at Scrap Whispers, and include a link to this blog in your post. As we are so close to the end of the month, we're going to include this challenge in February's prize pack, which will appear very soon. Just because you can't see it yet, don't let that stop you - it will be as good as all the others!

All the best Georgina, and we hope to have you back very soon. {HUGS}

Oops, it seems that when I try to upload my page to the Red, Orange, and Green challenge, it also shows up here. When I delete it here, it deletes it from the other post too. Hmm...
