Donna's Paper Piercing Challenge

Donna's (sbs5 sister) paper piercing challenge was to make a card and do some paper piercing on it. The colors, stamps, embellisments, etc. were up to me, the card just had to have paper piercing on it. Here's what I came up with.

As you can see, I paper pierced the "butterfly tails", all around the butterfly layer, and I peirced across the bottom of the card and threaded ribbon through. I got the threaded ribbon idea from Kristina Werner's MAMC-ribbon flower. I don't know if you can see it from the photo, but I used certainly celery designer prints patterned paper which resembles a dotted "paper piercing" pattern, and goes well with my paper piercing.

I had a lot of fun making this card, and am pleased with how it turned out. I'm thinking of maybe using it as a baby card for a friend who just had a baby girl.

A little tip: When I adhered the green layer to the front of the card, I used dimensionals. I wasn't thinking and I put the dimensionals over the paper piercing I had done, and then I stuck them down. What's the big deal? You probably can't see it in the picture, but if you look at the card, you can see the dimensionals through the piercing. So don't cover up where you pierced.
