Punch Art Baby Elephant

Don't you think baby cards are fun to make?  For today's Punch Art, I was inspired by Marie's punch art at Stamping Inspiration.

The photo is a bit dark here, but you get the idea.  I used Basic Gray card stock with a bit of Pretty in Pink for the inside ears. That pretty patterned paper is from the Nursery Suite dsp pack. 

The curve on the dsp & Baja Breeze card stock was done by tracing a large cup I had in the kitchen onto the patterned paper.  The Baja was trimmed 1/8" larger.

Here are the punches I used:

• Body - wide oval
• Head - wide oval trimmed down a bit narrower
• Trunk - first punch a wide oval, then insert the large oval into that & punch out the inside curve of the trunk. Round the ends.
• Ears - butterfly punch cut in half.  3/4" circle punch for the inside ears.
• Tail - wide oval punched once & then punched again slightly over the first one.  The end of the tail is the Boho Blossom punch trimmed with three tips left.
  

Supplies:

• Card stock - Baja Breeze, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Basic Gray, Nursery Suite dsp
• Ink - Basic Gray, Regal Rose
• Stamps - Word Play, Occasional Quotes hostess Level 3
• Accessories - Pink satin ribbon, Lots of Tags sizzlet 4 pack, Punches - see above
