Lots of firsts for me with this card: embossing a cardfront with a Nestability die, trying Ornare piercing, and using this Lilies of the Valley brass template. I did goof on my piercing - can you find it? :o)
After I dry embossed the Lilies of the Valley inside the embossed square, I placed the brass template on top and, using a sponge dauber, I stenciled on Encore Silver ink. After removing the stencil, Pewter Mica powder (by LuminArte) was brushed onto the wet ink. Last step was spraying with fixative to seal it. It won't belong before I'll see my Lilies of the Valley blooming. Can't wait!

This card is beautiful! After viewing, I had to go to the ornare web site and order a corner template. Hope I can master it!! Great job!!!
