Simplicity with Punches

These two cards were made using some of our Stampin' Up! punches.
I love how simple and easy it is to make a card using just a stamp and a punch.

For this first card, I used the Large Tag Punch, and a "direct to paper" technique with the Sage Shadow ink.
To do the same thing, just open your ink pad and rub your cardstock randomly over the open ink pad.
Viola!
I think it looks very suede-like, (even in green).
This card was made using the Curly Label punch.
The edges of the card are sponged with a fingertip sponge dauber.
