I asked my creative husband to help me figure out a punch art airplane & here's one or the two versions we came up with. Thanks Andy!
There are a few steps to making it so I've put together a little tutorial for you.
Stamps - It's Your Birthday, Cheep Talk
Card stock - Basic Gray, Red, Celery, Bashful Blue, White, Black, Orange & Summer Sun
Ink - Black, Old Olive
Accessories - sponge daubers, linen thread, silver brads, 1/16" hole punch, dimensionals
Punches - Flower trio, Wide oval, Word Window, Spiral, Boho Blossoms, Horizontal Slot
1. The first trick is to make a longer oval for the airplane body. Cut your Basic Gray card stock wide enough to fit into the back of the punch like this. Punch once. Notice it does not go through the usual inside slot of the punch.
2. Take that piece & slide it back in the other way to round off the opposite end also. Again - through the back of the punch & not between the usual punch slot.
****Repeat these two steps with a white piece also.
3. We cut the Basic Gray piece narrower length-wise - almost a third of the original height as shown over the white piece.
4. We cut the white extended Oval piece as shown to finish the body of the airplane.
****Note the marked area on the left of the bottom piece. That is used as the tail of the airplane.
5. See how the pieces fit together? I'd recommend you place a circle punch underneath it to adhere these two pieces to.
6. You can see how they are put together here.
I then added square punches using the Spiral punch - cutting off the little thin ends.
The pilots window is from a tip of a Word Window punch.
The wings are two Word Window punches - cut off slightly to shorten them.
The propeller is from the Boho Blossoms punch - the smallest flower. I cut off every other flower tip & added a brad.
