Getting Punchy!

Today was stamp club day, each month a different person is responsible for picking a project from one of our Aussie stamping magazines which we all do at our stamp club ... makes us actually stamp not just chat ... which is what I would do if I didn't have this project to do cause I prefer to stamp by myself then in a group ..... I never do my best work with a group!

Today project came from a previous Stamping & Papercrafts magazine and was a project created by Kay Stephenson. The idea for this card was to use various sized circle punches and arrange them on your card in a pleasing manner... some of the circles have smaller circles punched out of them off centre and these are thread through the ribbon which is attached to the card.

This project was something I would have picked to do if I was looking through magazines but as it was the selected project for today ..... I decided to give it a go! The card above are the results ... I did change a few things on mine but not all that much. Basically just colors, the flourishes, the canvas background etc. I guess it isn't too bad ... but I doubt I will make another... arranging the circles was certainly a lot harder than I would have expected it to be.

I like the flowers...perhaps its the rounded corners that are throwing me off...?

See, now I really love this card! I think it is cool the way you have your circles and flowers arranged....I gues that is why art is sooooo subjective!
