I made this card for my Stamp2Spend Challenge this week to use a tool that you have ignored or never used! I used my Piercing tool and pack from SU! I have had it for years, and also the framelits that the piercing pattern matches. And the matching stamp set! I got them all at the same time, several years ago! About time I used them. Then, I decided to use the tulip EF, and it looked plain, so decided to paint the tulips with my unused aqua brush! Then I added stickles, and didn't like it! Oh, well! Really, just playing with all my stuff and having fun!
Thanks for looking.

Yeah, it is good to just play and have some fun. This is nice in the blue and white....I bought the piercing packs too, although not sure if I have the one that this is on. But, yeah, I don't use them very often....Anyways, I think this turned out very nicely.

I too have the piercing tool, and I haven't used it in a very long time. I think piercing was just popular at one time, and then it kind of faded away. Stitching has become our new toy. Anyway, Sharon, this is beautiful. Love your stamping and piercing! You are very patient and have done a fantastic job with this card. TFS!

Beautiful luscious layers. Love how the blue accent color just makes the stamping pop for an elegant look. And did I mention the patience it must have taken to individually color each of the little raised tulip like images in the embossing! lol Well done.
Hugs,
Carol

Sharon, this is beautiful. Blue and white, my favourite colour combo. I can't understand why you haven't used this set in a long time ........the flourishes are wonderful and complement each other so nicely.
