This week Faith is hostess for the Stampin' B's Design Team and challenged us to use 2 die cuts and piercing on our cards. Well, I ended up with three but I remembered there are no rules, so I will be fine.
I did a bit of masking and stamped the image twice, then sponged the white area with Memento Dandelion ink. Colored with Copics. Pierced while still in the nestabilitie which makes it very easy.
We would love for you to join us this week. If so, remember to use the keyword StampinB.
Other challenges I'm entering:

Benz, you know I commented on your blog about how this knocked zee fruitcake off her serving platter! Yep, the platter no one wanted anyway. However, all would want this dee-licious card. Your flowers, ribbon treatment, sponging and coloring made this into a spectacular creation. WOW Benzalinawina!

Oh Brenda! This is packed with so many beautiful elements! I'm such a fan of circles, but your colors, the cyclamen image, and all that comes to life in your card are delightful!
