My card is for Speedy the Cat's challenge #2. Cathleen Torino gave the challenge to Punch it Up-use a corner punch on your card. Well, that was easy enough. I used a ticket corner punch, sponged the sky, used a SU punch for sun. I made my water with a distressed bg stamp, used cattails and sentiment using two stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers.
Stamps: Mark's Finest Papers,-Our Side of the Pond (cattails), Blackberries, Sunflowers, and Bees for sentiment
Paper: Della Fantasia dp, white cs?
Ink: SU Apricot Appeal, Soft Suede, ColorBox fluid chalk inkpad in ice blue
Accessories: SU circle punch- 1 1/4 " for sun, SU oval scallop (trimmed) for behind sentiment (for more masculine look), SU oval for sentiment, SU ticket corner punch

Iz this that rich billionaire hillzibillzi????? And, I'm not going to delete that word, so don't ask!! Well, if it isn't Zindorf, Jr. today. You really did create and most beautiful scenery Benzi. I'm VERY impressed and I don't say that lightly. Why, it doesn't look hillzibillzi at all. I'm sure Debzi has misnamed you that!! In all seriousness, I really LOVE this and great use of your punchez!! TFS!!!!

What a gorgeous card, Benzi!! I love that great scene you created and the rich-looking billionaire-type papers you used. Super use of your punchez, too!! Were any acquired in the south of France, perchance?? That ticket corner punch makes for a classy-looking frame, doesn't it?? Fantastic work

Benzi, this is really great - I love how you did the water with a bg stamp and I adore the cattails. This is very Zindorf (I can't wait to go to the Zindorf class in Piedmont, AL in September) and very peaceful. I hope our beaches will still look this pretty after the oil spill! How funny you did a challenge with punches since you are punch queen!
