Recently my Punch Classes made a card using the Punch Art wrench and they loved it.  Here is another idea using the Punch Art Wrench!  I combined with with the Happy Father's Day greeting from All Holidays.  I started with a base of Kraft cardstock and layered on Soft Suede.  I used a piece of stripe paper from Travel Journal Designer Paper and layered that on top.  I stamped Happy Father's Day once in Soft Suede and once in Pumpkin Pie on Very Vanilla, then cut out the Pumpkin Pie center and layered it over the Soft Suede.  I layered the Very Vanilla on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and placed on front.

 

For the punch art wrench, I used the Boho Blossoms punch and the 1" circle punch for the bottom, the 1 3/8 Circle punch and Word Window punch for the top.  The middle is just a rectangle piece of cardstock.  I sponged along all the edges with Soft Suede ink.  Finally, I added two Circle Designer Brads (retiring!) in the upper right corner.  I thought they looked a little like bolts!  Clever, huh?
