Hi there! It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC11)! Becca Feeken is
our challenge hostess this week. She is challenging us to paper piercing.
Paper piercing is the art of piercing holes through the cardstock for
decoration. Paper piercing has evolved so much in the past couple of years with
the invention of some highly detailed piercing templates. There are all kinds
of piercing ideas to use. Whether it is just a pierced frame or border, some
pierced corner accents, a few pierced dots here and there, or you go out out
with ornate piercing template patterns, we would love to see what you create.You can find all the details on the Flourishes Newsletter.
I used this beautiful new Sweet Violets set from Flourishes today. I love this set!! I colored it with PrismaColor Pencils and baby oil. I used my matpack to do all the piercing on the hunter green card stock and for the tag. I really like how the white layer shows through the hunter paper where I pierced the holes.
The blog team have some beautiful samples for you today.

So beautiful Dee! I love the colors and the way the shadows reflect the colors of the image...so soft and lovely! The piercing adds so much to this, with the white peeking through that beautiful dark mat. TTYS!
