PAPER PIE(R)CING

I love paper piercing, but a lot of people read it as paper piecing.  Just one little letter makes a big difference in the technique. I recently bought some new templates from Gem’s Cottage and this week, Less is More is featuring a challenge using paper piercing. Yeah! I get to use a new template.  Here is what I came up with.

I hope (and think maybe) I am learning more and more about CAS as I play in these challenges.  I love looking at the winners and trying to learn from them.  I did keep this very simple with a vase of flowers that I stamped using Rubber Stamp Tapestry peg stamps.  The sentiment is a freebie I got with a purchase from Verve.  The frame is a SB that I mounted on foam tape.  The paper piercing template is a double scallop border that I placed below both of my score lines.

That looks amazing, Ellen!

Love the pierced effect and the texture it creates! (I imagine the piercing process to be quite meditating...is it?)

Hugs,
