Technique of the Week: Punch Highlighting
Owls are a hot trend in cardmaking and scrapbooking, and this owl from the Aviary stamp set is just too cute. Aviary is one of the most popular stamp sets from the latest Idea Book and Catalogue – and with good reason. There's a lot of different techniques you can do with this stylish stamp set, including Punch Highlighting. This technique was featured in a presentation at Convention using this set and inspired this card!
