Good morning! This is a project that I have had planned in my head for a long time, but when I sat down to actually create it, it evolved into something totally different than what I had planned in my head...BUT that is okay because I like this piece better than the one in my head! LOL!
This piece was supposed to feature 8 different patterned papers (to fit in with the 8th day theme), but when it was all done, it actually featured 13. Cest la vie!
This is my twist on the punch art that you see everyone doing. The piece actually measures 8x10. I used my square scalloped punch and the Kimberley Poloson Letters Home patterned paper line to build my base of punches.
The entire piece is mounted onto a piece of heavy chipboard so that it is sturdy enough to simply display on this hanger like this. These hangers are available from the Scrappy Gourmet for a serious bargain price. I recommend that everyone get at least 5 of them because they are so inexpensiver and perfect for creating quick little art-pieces like this that can be changed throughout the seasons. You can even hang layouts on them. Well, I can't find the exact one that I show here, but here is one that's very similar... hangers.
I punched each piece and then mounted them onto 2 pieces each of black cardstock that was also punched with the square punch. This makes them POP out a little bit and the black layers underneath add a bit of visual dimension that I like better than pop-dots.
The outside border was created by using one of the swirly stamps from the Growing in Unity kit and stamping it randomly onto the white cardstock. The Life Unscripted stamp is from Hampton Arts.

Yea! I finally get to read your blog again, after being banned for both Thursday & Fridays posts. This is a really pretty project. I think I had better check into buying some of those hangers -- one can never have too much unused stuff around, right?
