I got this Fiskars Circle Border Punch for 40 percent off at JoAnn's yesterday...dumb idea. First, you use their template to trace either a 4 or 6 inch circle, then you cut out the circle, and finally, you punch it with the punch all the way around. It's a bit difficult to use with the thick SU! paper. I think I'll just buy small doilies! LOL! Anyway, the Color Challenge for today was to use Elegant Eggplant, Taken With Teal, and Old Olive. I really like the Teal against the Eggplant. I did some piercing in the top corners and popped up that doily looking thingie on Dimensionals. Thanks for taking a peek!

Wow, your 'thingie' is very striking and worth all the effort in my opinion!! Like the pierced corner detail!
