The Perfect Punch with Pink Paislee

Hello! Today I have a layout to share for an assignment on the Pink Paislee blog ~ Creating Layered Embellishments ~ click HERE. This week, the theme is The Perfect Punch. I hauled my box of well loved punches in from the garage and unleashed some fun!
Paper punches are available in soooo many shapes and sizes ~ surely something for everyone! I used quite a variety of punches along with product from the Indigo Bleu Collection to create the layout shown below featuring a photo of my sweet husband Scott that was taken while we on a trip in Europe.
Using a combination of flower punches and patterned paper, I made a trio of layered flower embellishments and finished each of them off with either a button or brad from the Boutique Flair pack. The center flower embellishment is perched upon a fan fold decoration that was made using a decorative edge punch. All the flowers are layered on top of square doilies that were also made using various edge punches.
And here are a few punched layered butterfly embellishments also featuring brads and buttons from the Boutique Flair pack. The journaling strips were punched as well and then fun little Indigo Bleu Bitty Blocks letters were used to spell out the journaling.
In case you were wondering what punches I used to create this layout, here's a peek:
Pink Paislee products used:Indigo Bleu Bitty Blocks ~ 00628
