Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Dies / Punches !

Good Morning!

It's the first Saturday of the month which means it's time for our new monthly challenge over at PBSC and this time the theme is to use 'Dies / Punches!' 

You can choose to use just the one of these or both on your creations this month. 

I have used one of the recent Dies which I bought a few weeks ago and shamefully haven't used as much as I should! I cut out three die-cuts then layered them onto the the card. I have highlighted the top die - cut with Stickles and Doodlebug Sprinkles. 

The sentiment from one of the latest clear sets.
