Noah's Art Punch Art Card

Hi Friends,

This is inspired by one of the brand new stamps that is in the Stampin Up 2012 Idea Book & Catalog called Two By Two.  Normally I would do a full tutorial with photos but with the products retiring I decided to just give you instructions.  All products are Stampin Up!

Instructions

For the boat I used 3 of the soft suede scallop frame oval die cut in half and inked heavily on curves, then glued them together to form the boat.  Then I used the scallop frame of one of the ovals for the top trim of the boat.  The port holes are 1/2" crumb cake circle and Itty Bitty circle in early expresso attached with dimensionals.  For the top section of the boat.  I used for the roof soft suede and scored it on score tool every 1/4" to give roof look then inked with early expresso back and forth with a sponge over the scored lines to add more dimension.  I trimmed at an angle to give look of roof and inked edges.  The part under the roof is early expresso, I just cut it to look the right size and so that it fit and framed the giraffe's heads.

The ocean is using the tasteful trim die in tempting turquoise and I used the negative space of the die to create the water.  I layered three pieces with dimensionals to give the look waves.  

The clouds are the frosting in whisper white using the cupcake punch and put on dimensionals.

Elephant is the 1 3/8" circle punch in basic gray for heads and the ears are the small oval punch.  The tusks are the pieces from inside flower petal of the triple layered blossom punch.  I used the large oval to cut out the trunks.  I reinserted the ovals on a post it note to shape them.  I also used a black marker to shade a bit as shown on stamp and to draw faces.

The lions are using the small tag punch in more mustard, I placed the small tag on a post it note and trimmed it with the tag punch so that the head is angled more so that the top of the head is smaller width than the jaw of lion.  I then trimmed it using the 1 3/4" circle punch to round off the jaw by punching the pointed edges off.  I used a small heart early expresso with the bottom inserted in the 1 3/8" circle punch and punched in half to get the nose.  The lion's mane is the full triple blossom layered punch in early expresso.  The tails are using the bird punch's stem.

The giraffes are using so saffron for the heads, the modern label punch cut in half, then placed on post it note and trimmed to shape using the small and large oval punches.  The necks are a full modern label punch.  The scallop punch border punch using cajun craze is used for the manes on back of neck.  The spots are the itty bitty scallop circle using cajun craze.  The ears are a small heart cut in half.  The antlers are cupcake punch springles and candle.  I used a small oval in early expresso for the nose and glued it on then trimmed around the nose so it fit.

The card base is pool party and it is a standard 5 1/2" easel card.  To cut the tails on the sentiment banner I used the square punch and inserted the ends of a strip of whisper white into for form the banner.
