Not the image, the card LOL! Give me a mouse with a piece of holey cheese (from "Whatever Floats Your Boat" by Rupa Shevde and I've gotta get out my punches! ;) This was very easy to make...
This an A2 size card, that opens longways, makes it easier to get the punches all over/where you want them. I used the large hole in my Cropodile and my SU! 1/2" and 1" circle punches for all the holes. I did this pretty quickly, just trying to get a random look but varying the sizes. I also went off the sides with a few.
The image is colored with SU! markers, Koh-i Noor and and OMS, AND Copics! I sponged on a little Barely Banana ink with the Nestabilitie die still in place like a stencil to make the background to match my card base. I added a layer of Apricot Appeal inside the card so that the holes would appear to have a little more depth and "pop". The curved sentiment in the set was fun to stamp around them, too! :) A more fun ribbon than plain white would have been good, but digging through my stash I just didn't have any that worked with these colors, oh well!
I'm leaving town tomorrow, won't be back for days and days and no computer where I'm going!!
But don't worry (not that you would), I have everything on autopilot here, though, so please keep checking back each day for new projects, and cut me some slack trying to get caught up on email when I return LOL! Talk to you soon!
*or "Holey Moley!"
PS Can you add yourself to my new guestbook down at the bottom while I'm gone, pretty please? Your smiling faces would be the perfect welcoming committee when I get back! :)
OH NO! You can't go out of town, Melanie! YOu have to be near a computer just in case any of us need you for inspiration, or just a fun blog to read... Oh wait, did you say autopilot? Ok, then I'll just pretend it's actually you even thought it will be cyber-Mel. Have fun!
