Punch Art Moana for My Granddaughter's Birthday Card

 

It's working its way around to Birthday Season 2 (the first one is in January) in the Cooper family again and the first one in this second season is my granddaughter Cedar's birthday!

She'll be 7 this year and although she is really into Minecraft, my daughter tells me that she still really likes Moana as well. So I dug out all my punches and got to work on a punch art creation. I used this photo as a guide:

Here's the result:

• Most of the punches I've used here are either already retired or are retiring. I don't get rid of too many punches and this is why. Here is a list of the ones I used:  Lemon builder, Owl builder, Vases builder, Tulip builder, 1/2" circle punch, medium oval, Word Window, Fox builder, Detailed Trio, Delightful Tag Topper, Timeless Label.
• Matching the skin tone was hard. The closest I could get was Cinnamon Cider cardstock.
• I used Terracotta Tile for her top and sash on her skirt. I added a design from the Tasteful Touches stamp set, stamped in Memento black on her top and Linen Thread completed the embellishments. Her skirt was punched from some In Good Taste textured DSP.
• Her hair was hard to create. I used the fox tail from the Fox Builder punch and the Tulip leaf from the Tulip Builder punch, but I still got too many fly away bits. Early Espresso and Soft Suede cardstock were the colours I used.
• Her face was the Lemon builder punch. If I was doing it again, I would trim away the bottom of the lemon more to flatten out the shape.
• Anyway, I hope Cedar can tell who it is and likes her birthday card.
