Not really desperate, but I just didn't find the time to create new Punch Art myself for this week's post. So I made a card with one of the Punch Art ATC (artist trading cards) swaps I got from Convention last summer.
Kristina Steer did this one & it just amazed me when I saw it. I think she did all the details so perfectly - it makes this a fairly accurate rendition of a giraffe, IMO.
The punches she used are as follows:
Key Tag punch - head & snout
1/2" circle punch - chocolate neck circles, leaves
horizontal slot - horns
1/4" circle - top of horns, nostrils & white eyes
1/8" hand held circle - black eyes
1 3/8" circle - indents on the face & ears
1 1/4" circle - Saffron ears
1" circle - small chocolate ears
Accessories - Spot On jumbo wheel, handle, Chocolate stitched ribbon, So Saffron SAB ribbon, Happy Everything stamp set, So Saffron & Chocolate Chip ink, sponge daubers
Here's a link to Kristina's gallery on Splitcoast. She does amazing work.
I love this giraffe it is so darn cute. I am going to make it today.

You might find that if this happens to you, you simply get used to it and automatically.

I look forward everyday to what you have new on your blog. I've been on vacation and just came home to find this cute card. How did you make the ears? Is there a special trick? I know you use the 1" circle punch, but how do you cut the two curved sides? thanks! sue

I think this is adorable and a great way to showcase what to do with an ATC. You added plenty of your own creativity to the card. It's lovely! I just wish I had the key tag punch so I could make it.
