Cards enhenced with tissue and paper punch

Finally I have sometime to create with my recent purchase Japaneses tissues and two new Martha Stewart paper punches. It took me a while to get the paper punch to work the way I like. I am very happy with the results.
I really like the Malva flower how it pressed.  The colour retained so nice. The white stay very white.These were pressed over 2 years ago. I was at Kent Wood Garden Centre and Evelyn, the owner, was very kind and let me help myself to her garden. I only took a few of Malva and it turn out so nice.  I must plant this plant this year or visit her again.







I like the colour of this card stock.The tissue has leaves watermarks  added a  nice touch.
The leaves on this card were Trident Maple leaves and fall wild grape leave and ferns.



This was a very nice punch. It can be used on the corner or  along the straight edge.
I trimmed off the pointed ends and made it blended with the tissue design.
The big blue flower was a new addition last year. I bought it from Kent Wood Garden, Geranium Ballerina, a perennial Geranium.  I like how its exquisite colouring and the veins retained so well.






This is another nice paper punch. Again it can be used at the corner or along the straight edge of the paper.
I really love these lacy tissue. I bought it at The Paper Place in Toronto. Here is the link to the store web site. https://secure.thepaperplace.ca/index.php

  1. The pressed flowers look beautiful on the wonderfully textured paper. The colours are so vivid, too. I like your Geranium Ballerina flower. The hardy geraniums have such wonderful details in their petals.
