Paper Roses

I have been playing with my big shot and made a bunch of cards up using the flower layers die cuts. I also used the sizzix embosslits sweetest stem, birds and blooms, scallops circle#2, lots of tags, clear circle and the Manhattan flower embossing folder. I had some neat paper that was handmade w/flower buds incorporated in the paper that I used for some of the flowers. I also was a bad girl and used some non SU DSP paper. But I also used Kiwi, Regal rose and vellum paper from SU. I also used the stamp set "Short and Sweet" and the new "Summer Love Rub-ons" from the Mini Occasions Catty. Hope you enjoy the cards.

Here are the rest of the cards.

Punch Art is my favorite technique for making cards. It is so much fun to come up with new ideas.
