This has been a challenging week for me. I decided to try my hand at paper piercing after I purchased some digi images from Fred She Said Store. I think the card has a simple elegance with the single image and the paper piercing. It's a technique I've always wanted to try, but just never got around to doing. Now I love it. It helps that several of the images from FSS already have the marks for the piercing on some of the pages.Of course, it's still a bit of a challenge to get it to work when you reverse the image and punch from the back side. I threw away several images before I got it lined up just right.
I also made the background paper that is at the bottom of the card. I did it with my "scribble" stamp, and some random stamping of other small stamps. I like this because I can make up whatever color I need.
I've entered this card at the following challenges: Fred She Said Challenge - spring and pastels
The Play Date Cafe - light blue, dark blue and white
Crafty Creations Challenges - anything goes
Crafty Cardmakers - challenge yourself
One Stitch At A Time - anything goes
For Fun Challenges - anything goes

Beautiful, Debra! Thanks for inviting me and sharing it. I have some piercing images from Fred She Said but didn't really make it yet. Your idea of making background paper is great tip, too. Thanks again.
You did a great job with the piercing. This is a technique I really like but haven't done for a while...You have inspired me to try it again...
