I have been practicing with alcohol inks...super messy. I was just about to put this piece that I made over the weekend into the box of orphans...things I make that I don'T have a card to use them on...when I saw the CAS challenge to use chipboard. I don'T have any chipboard, so I glued several die cut leaf branches together. Note to self...use less intricate die cuts if you plan to glue them together. Once I got through the hissy fit from the gluing fiasco, I thought about the TLC challenge to use fancy paper piercing. I used a sewing needle and followed the ink lines with piercing. To add a little more definition I used a very tiny sponge aplicator and went over the holes. After using up all my patience this morning piercing and gluing, I am lucky not to have injured and of my patients (I am a dental hygienist).
TFL, Francie

Oh my goodness what an amazing card and it is even more amazing IN REAL LIFE!!!!!!!! Francie this truly is a work of art and I am going to frame it. The colours are so dramatic and dazzling and the little paper piercing is incredible. I couldn't work out how I missed this, but we were on our holiday then. Ohand the layered die-cut is a much appreciated labour of love. Thank you so much Francie (my twin birthday girl). xx
