Mo's dp2 challenge dt

Our hostess this week is Lydia and she chose the theme for us to use three punches on our challenge this week on Mo's challenge blog.  When i started out with this card i had no idea how i was gonna use three punches as i didnt have a clue what direction my card would take as i was doing it.  Well turns out i didnt have a problem after all.
I am using "Big present" available at Mo's store and this was a dream to color with my copics, i colored the present and then took my blender to the blue and lifted some of the color so the present would have a slight texture to the blue wrap.  i gave the present and the little boys party hat a good going over with star dust stickles.  I cut my image out with scissors which is not something i do a lot of these days, went around the mat with a MS punch, went arount the outer edges of my large base mat with another MS punch, so that was already two punches and then when i decided on using my new LOTV sentiment i need to use another two punches.  So you see all that wracking my brain for nothing.  I also added buttons onto circled mats so they wouldnt be lost, VOILA!   hope you will join us at Mo's.
