Hand Punched Arrows

For today's color challenge hosted by Connie and Mary I have opted for a totally different look from my usual style.  In keeping with the phrase of the greeting on my card I made some quick hand punched arrows.  I almost always use a square punch on an angle to create a fishtail so, why not use a square punch to make a point.  You can do it by slipping a strip of paper through the bottom of the punch and in between the punch blades.  No fussy hand cutting needed!

    I think you should go with this style more often - it is a wonderful card! Love all of the arrows and the way they reflect the sentiment.

    What a wonderful card! I love all the arrows and how they emphasize the meaning of the verse, plus all the visual texture you've achieved! This card would be great for both male and females too! Fabulous!
