Punch Art 2 ~ Bear

November 24, 2013November 24, 2013Leave a comment

Here is the second in my series of punch art embellishments, this is based on ‘Bertie Bear’ by Pat Carr (an Australian SU designer)

As you can see the Owl punch has come into play again for the body and the little fur tuft on the top of his head. The arms and feet use the ‘wing’ from the Bird Builder Punch.

All the pieces are cut from Crumb Cake and were sponged in ‘Soft Suede’ ink. The nose and tuft were cut from Soft Suede card stock. I used the Chocolate Chip stampin marker to put on his features and cute little toes.

This turned out to be a very versatile embellishment as I used the him for a recent scrap book layout:

….. as well as a card for my recently arrived great-niece, Isla
