Sheri had such a fun, summery challenge for us this week. It stymied me at first, and then I remembered that in my Penny Black 12 Days of Christmas set, the 7 Swans a Swimming was a swan with a bathing cap and tube. On my desk, ready to go - and then while I was moderating in the gallery last night I happened to see the most perfect punch art - check out the original by beechwood HERE, and see what punches she uses. Hers is even more fun.
My base is 5 1/2" square. I created the pool rim by scoring a piece of card every 1/2" and then cutting out the centre. If I had more time I'd have added Versamark and UTEE to glaze my tiles, but I'm expected family any moment. The tiled rim is popped up over some water stamped with StarvingArtistamp's Woodgrain, using Salty Ocean.
