Get Well Soon Card

by Rebecca

For this monochromatic punch art card I wanted to make an umbrella, so I had to do some paper piecing with the digital punches. I used a 6x6 blank card template in My Digital Studio.

The base of the card is a Brocade patterned paper in Bahama Breeze.

I used a circle punch for the umbrella, and paper filled it with Bahama Breeze patterned paper which I "zoomed" in on in the program to bring the stripes closer together.

See the little point on the top of the umbrella? I used an arrow punch, colored in with Bahama Breeze, and let just the tip of a arrow peak from behind. Then to make the bottom edge of the umbrella I used an oval punch, enlarged it a little, and matched the color to the color of the paper behind so it would disappear.

The handle of the umbrella is actually made with a bird's feet stamp! Again, I used a punch matching the background color to cover up what I didn't want showing.

I added the border punches, some ribbon and knots, some text and a cute little button, and that was it.

I do feel it needs something else, but I'm not sure what. Any ideas?
