This was my first paper piercing attempt, I added it to this card because my Mom is a huge crafter and does lots of cross-stitch. I don't think that you'll easily see the glitter in the middle of the flowers, I added several colors, then had to add a bit of glitter glue to even it out. The inside of the card used some MS lavender glitter on the mat around the single blossom. Hope that you enjoy it. Thanks for looking!

I love the piercing templates you showed me - another technique I'll have to try in the near future! Great job on the piercing as well as the gamsol colouring!

Beautiful. I love the look of piercing on cards. (I used to do tons of cross-stitching. Perhaps that's the reason!) This is wonderful - bet your Mom loved it. That's a great piercing template. I should go dust off a couple of mine!

I cannot paper pierce if my life depended on it so I bow down to you! I keep trying, but... The center of the flowers show the glitter and are very colorful too!
