You see there is an 'R' in the word making it Piercing and not Piecing.
Here is my next inspiration card for you as the challenge still has one more week to run.
I fancied doing some more watercolouring with my Marvy Le Plume II pens. I love the results even though I only have a few of the colours at present as they are proving quite hard to get hold of. I have had to source them from several different places. Just 3 colours here red, orange and lt green. I very loosely got the idea for the card shape from Jennifer Mcguire's Stamped edge gate fold but I have used just one piece of card from an A4 sized sheet cut in half lengthways and then folded at 4.5 and 9. I have overlaid with watercolour card cut to shape as well. Stamps used are by Marianne Design CS 0927 clear stamp.
I used the Misti stamp positioner so that I could colour each of the stalks and petals individually and then used the pens scribbled onto a palette and picked up with a fine paint brush to colour the flowers and butterflies in. Trimmed the bottom of the card around the butterflies. I have pierced around the edge just using a long stick pin and a ruler for guidance (not too evenly I have to say). Practice makes perfect. Lol.
This is the poppy border which is on the inside flap that opens down. Again I have pierced around the image for impact.
A gold sticker sentiment completes the front which flaps up to show the inside panel which I have decorated with just one butterfly and the pierced edging.
Hope you will flutter by and play along now you know there is an 'R' in the challenge.
