I created this card for Sharon's challenge which was to use paper piercing on a card. I have had this paper piercing template for some time and thought I would pull it out and challenge myself today. While making it I had intended to emboss the wording in seafoam white but accidently picked up the holographic instead and if you think I was about to redo the paper piercing you're DEAD wrong, it adds a little sparkle:)! The stamp I used is one of my favorites and is by Great Impressions, an oldie but perfect for spring cards. "Easter Blessing "is a stamp given to me by a dear friend but believed to have come from I Brake For Stamps. Paper is from Lasting Impressions I used both the melon bold striped and checkered then mounted it on white linen stock so that the piercing would pop more. I colored the flowers in with watercolor pencils.
I had lots of fun taking on this challenge and plan to keep my template out for awhile.

Wow- it turned out great! Smart thinking not to re-do your work! Isn't that always the way- something goes wrong at the end? Actually I think it looks fantastic just the way it is!
Oh this is gorgeous!!
Thanks for the close up photo! Wow, that is an ornate bit of paper piercing! That is truly beautiful!
Beautiful Easter card. I love the paper piercing, and I don't blame you one bit for not starting over. I too would have salvaged that beauty. The closeup really shows it off, and I don't see a thing wrong with the holographic EP. :) Kelly
