This card is for the Flourishes Challenge, we are to use paper piercing, which I have really gotten into big time, it has been made a lot easier since I got my piercing mat and template - makes it easier than using a ruler!!!
I have made a Mothers Day card, I needed one to post overseas to my Mum so it had to be quick and easy...so where else do you start but with the Cuttlebug, it makes card making easy....I used one of my favourite EF's - paisley (thanks for the loan Hannah (aka bubblefrog)!!! I added lots of flowers and used my favourite SU aplhabet for the sentiment.....I finished it off with paper piercing....to be honest I wasn't sure if it would be overkill with the embossing but I am happy with the results. I like the way that paper piercing adds so much to a card, it always seems to finish it off nicely!
Thank you for looking and for your comments, they are always encouraging!
