CCEE1222 - Focus on Piercing



Charlene gave the CCEE Stampers a challenge this week that was right up my alley.  I love paper piercing and she gave me reason to use a new template for piercing which I had treated myself to a while back.  She challenged us to have piercing be the focus of our card this week.  As you can see, I did LOTS of piercing.  I pierced the outlines of the butterlies as well as a decorative edge on my base card.

The picture to the left is a close up to show both the piercing and the embossing that doesn't show up quite so well in the picture of the whole card.

While the template was still 'on' the butterflies, I used chalk to bring some color to them.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the CCEE Stampers team created.  Be sure to visit the CCEE Blog to check all the creations out.

I think we all knew that this challenge would be just up your street and you've certainly aced it - those butterflies are totally fabulous, and the piercing makes them look even more dainty. I'd like to hope that the border was one of those dies that does it for you, but somehow I suspect you did it yourself.

Frances took the words right out of my mouth...my exact thought. The piercing around the butterflies is super and the card is gorgeous.
