Today's Stampin' Up! Class

Hi all,

Today's class was all about the Owl Punch :)  It's a new addition to my Stampin' Up! stash and it has many possibilities, not just an owl!

Until the other day, I had not really used my brayer to it's full potential, the only time I had used it was to cover some Whisper White cardstock in Blush Blossom for a wedding card here.  For this class my ladies used four different colours to create a sunset.

Card Size: A6. 

Card Two

Stamps: Oval All (P.71).
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black and Whisper White.
