This gorgeous guy is from Clear Dollar Stamps and if you go to their website Clearly i stamp you still have a week to enter the latest challenge which is to use punches, die cuts and cut outs. If you look closely at the brown piece in the background its a wrapping from my husbands cigar, looks good doesn't it! I've entered this into:
