I saw this lion recently and just had to see if I could recreate it. It was a lot of fun and super cute for a gift tag. The mane was created with the blossom punch. If you don't have this one, order it now! It is very versatile for making basic flowers, 3-D flowers and see, even lion manes. The face was created using a combination of circle punches and a Small Heart punch for the nose. The lion was created with Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight cardstock. It was layered on a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock that had been embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions folder.
So if you have a lot of stamps and are looking at expanding your tools, add a punch or two to your list. You would be amazed at what you can create with them. Happy stamping (and punching!)
I love the idea of using punches! We get so use to just using stamps. Nice to change it up.
