I used some new Woodware punches I'd bought recently. The tropical leaves are 2" and 1". When I saw them it was love at first sight!
The Lillies are made using a large five petal flower punch, made in the same way as the flowers in the 'Fairies' box.
Couldn't resist adding a few small wooden ladybird embellishments. I applied 'Glossy Acccents' to give them a high shine, I think it makes them more realistic.
The small flowers are made using a small five petal punch and I cut 'Vs' from the petal tips. After cutting to the centre, between two petals, I rolled and glued them. They're made from yellow card, chalked with orange highlights.
I wanted a stamped, leafy background so made a stamp from craft foam:
- Take what's left from the punch out of the 1" tropical leaf.
- Using a pen, trace the shape onto a piece of thin craft foam.
- Cut the leaf out.
- Attach to an acrylic block using a glue stick.
- Ink up and stamp (I used VersaColor Fresh Green).
I mostly used punches on this box - here's a list of the ones I used:- 1.25" five petal flower punch
- 5/8" five petal flower punch
- Woodware 'grass one' 1.5" punch
- Woodware (tropical leaf) 'Monstera' 1" punch (used to make the stamp)
- Woodware (tropical leaf) 'Monstera' 2" punch
