I won a competition a while ago with a prize of a set of custom stamps. I finally got round to designing them and this is the first card with one of them (the espresso cup). The Fan Club central theme this month is coffee so this card fits challenge CT0308, too.
I'd been thinking about the stamped collage technique tutorial posted by Keri at CHF so that influenced how this card developed.
The 'ticket corners' are created with a small circle punch. Just push the corner of the paper in (I've added two small pen marks on the punch itself to mark off the quarter circle) and punch out the little bite.
Bigger pic available in this post on my blog if anyone wants it.

Wonderful card-great college pics for images and love the embellishments- I also use a circle punch for the corners- never thought to mark it at 1/4 "...Thanks for the tip!
