Today's challenge is to make a card using the No-lines piercing technique. I almost didn't do this one, but am so glad I did 'cause I actually like how my card turned out!!! Nothing ventured; nothing gained!!!
I'm not so great with watercoloring, but it looks ok to me. I'm trying to make more CAS cards due to postage.

I really ilke this card you created. That technique really looks neat! I may have to give it a try. Your blue flowers are so pretty - I think you have mastered watercoloring. I also like the additions of the butterfly and pearls. Pretty, pretty. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

Well I am SO glad you gave it a try, Vicky. This is just gorgeous - the blue flowers are totally beautiful and the black glitter is amazing. I thought, till I read your list of supplies, that you'd actually used some sort of seeds.
Sometimes I've tried a challenge that I thought wasn't me only to discover that I loved it - so as you say, nothing venture nothing gained. Of course sometimes the venture only confirms what I already thought - but I reckon it's worth trying most things once.

It seems you had the same bit of trepidation that I had when we read the challenge. I do like your card. That mesh makes a nice template for stenciling your background. Good job, Vicky!!!
