Punch Art Giraffe Name Tag

This is my punch art name tag to be used this weekend at the Stampin Up Regionals in Perth, Western Australia.

The giraffe was made using the Stampin Up Owl Punch and the leaves came from the SU Bird Punch. I've made a few extras to make some cards with the spare giraffes.

Baby Dragon Punch Art

 Wow it's been a loooong time between posts! Sorry! I'm off to the Stampin Up Regionals in Perth, Western Australia this weekend and needed to make some card swaps. Being 17 weeks pregnant with my first child, I had baby on the brain. I'd seen this cute Baby Dragon idea before (sorry to the original designer as I can't remember where I saw it to credit / link etc) and thought it would be perfect. They are quite fiddly when making so many multiples like I have but I loved the outcome. I'll just have to be very selective who I swap with as I don't have as many as I'd hoped. I also decided to keep a couple as I have a couple of friend due to give birth next week!

I just sponged the background dots in coordinating inks to ensure the colours matched perfectly to the cardstock.
Products Used:
Background cardstock: Stampin Up Baja Breeze & Pretty in Pink
Patterned Card: SU Whisper White cardstock sponged with Baja Breeze or Pretty in Pink & Mellow Moss ink using daubers.
Baby Dragon: SU Wild Wasabi & Garden Green, Whisper White & Basic Black cardstock.
Punches:  All punches used were Stampin Up - Boho Blossoms, Large Oval, Extra Large Oval, 1/2" Circle, 1 3/8" Circle (used to cut out mouth then sanded sharp corners to round off), Love heart from the Bird Punch.
Extras:   Double-sided tape, SU Dimensionals (mounting block), daubers, multipurpose liquid glue, scissors, black pen, white gen pen.
