Good morning all! Summer is here and with that my mojo decided to go on vacation LOL. But I do have a card to share today for our brand new JULY challenge at
Penny Black and More.
The theme this month is Punches and Dies. I hope you'll join us. As usual we have some fabulous prizes up for grabs from several generous sponsors - Penny Black, Whiff of Joy, Flonz, and Stix2.
Like I said my mojo has somewhat disappeared, so I just decided to get a little head start on my Christmas cards, as I know I will be needing it soon enough.

My penny black stamp is from their clear set "Holly Jolly". I just love this cute scene with cat and mouse. The image has been colored using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.
For my dies I used a scallop square nestablities shape, and the mini ticket die from Whimsy Stamps. The ticket sentiments are from Whimsy Stamps from the set "Holiday mini tickets". I used a corner rounder punch on the bottom part of the card. It's a super simple card, I just embellished with a button and some gold cord.
