Challenge 4 - Get Punchy!

Get out your punches, this week your design challenge is to use them!  There are so many ways to use punches so feel free to be creative!  Please use at least one punched shape in your design.  You may use your choice of ink, papers, colors, stamps (please use at least one A Muse stamp if possible), embellishments, etc. 

Leave a comment on this post (one comment per card) and include a blog or gallery page link to a photo of your new original creation by midnight Pacific time Sunday, May 27th.  (Cards must be new creations not previously posted or submitted to any A Muse contest.)  Then we'll draw a random winner on Monday!
This week the prize is a SURPRISE!!

You may submit more than one entry for this challenge - the more you create, the more chances you have to win!
Click here to see a sample by designer Julie Ebersole to get you thinking!

Don't have a blog or online gallery?  Leave a link to your card photo from your online photo album (such as Kodak EasyShare, Snapfish, Flickr, etc).  Or see our links at the end of challenge 1 to setup a Splitcoaststampers gallery.

Looking forward to seeing your fun and creative uses of your punches!

I hope this qualifies. I had this already made for my daughter's 2nd birthday next month, so I figured I'd enter it.

Here is mine, I used punches to create the fishbowl as well as to add my ribbon and to anchor my image with a slit punch in the bottom.

What a fun challenge. I am sure I will make more. I almost always use punches somewhere on my card.
