Less Is More - Paper Piercing

Good morning!
How are you this Saturday morning?
I am now on day 11 of giving up sweets, chocolate, cakes, biscuits...pretty much any processed sugar items! And I am very pleased to say that I am succeeding and I am feeling great!! :))

Anyway, it's time for the challenge at Less Is More this week and Chrissie and Jen have gone for

PAPER PIERCING

I am very happy about this as I have brand new Paper Piercing set from SU and it is brilliant! It makes it soooo much easier!


A closer look at the paper piercing...



I have chosen my colours from Connie and Mary's challenge this week...

Supplies
Cardstock - Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Basic Grey

    Love how you used the paper piercer to create a "sun" of sorts. Love the simplicity of this card and all the white space (something I am not comfortable with). Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary challenge this week!

    Paper piercing has got to be one of my most favorite things to do. It so dresses up a CAS card yet doesn't add any paper layers. LOVE how you add the multiple circles in the corner and your colorful butterflies are just DELIGHTFUL! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
