Card blank: 7" x 7" white silk
Stamp: Hobby Art 'General Greetings'
Punch: Woodware 1" square
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Card: Dark red hammer card
Snippets: Black and white card, Wild Rose Studio 'Man About Town' papers
I punched sixteen squares from the papers (some so small I had almost thrown them away!) and attached them to black card using Collall All Purpose Glue which allowed me to move them into place on the card. The black card was trimmed and then layered onto red hammer card before being attached to the front of my card. I stamped the sentiment onto a snippet of white card, trimmed it then layered it onto black and red card before attaching it to the card front with foam tape.
