Looking for flower ideas on Pinterest I saw this card which inspired me to have a go at 'punch art' for today's sketch challenge. https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/392728029976041162/
I punched the borders and added them to the centre panel. I punched out the bird 'wings' and sponged some colour to each one and wet glued them together to form the tulip. I hand cut the stems and leaves. I put foam pads behind the tulip blooms to add interest, but glued the stems and leaves flat with wet glue just under the bow. An oblong panel didn't look right for panel 6 so I punched some circles with the owl punch. I tried a larger circle but it over-powered the tulips, so a small one it had to be. I am about to make a masculine version of this for FIL's birthday.

Wonderful! Love the tulip - personal favorite flower. Love the lacy edges. The ribbon is a nice touch. Fabulous take on the sketch with all paper, no ink. Well done! TFS
