LIM108, CFC91 - Silver Anniversary


Ever hear that great minds think alike? I was all set to make my paper pierced creation for this week's Less Is More challenge, and then I visited my good friend Hannelie. Well. Plan A went out the window and I moved to Plan B. This, as a matter of fact, is Plan C, due to technical difficulties with Plan B. lol!

Like Hannelie (and like this card), I did my piercing from the back. I was inspired by those boards of pins that you can push your hand against and see the shape coming through the other side like this:

I used a grey and silver theme (that Sweet and Sassy heart is cut from mirror card) - perfect for an elegant wedding or 25th anniversary. And perfect for this week's CASual Friday challenge - Hi Ho Silver.  I created a round frame by outlining two nestabilities with pencil on the back of my white panel. I then flipped the panel over, glued the grey circle in the centre of the frame, to give some more grounding to the silver heart and popped up the mirror card heart.

ETA - this card was chosen as a favourite! Thank you so much!

  7. Well, you're Plan C definitely worked out well - this is fabulous! The reverse side of the piercing definitely is more dynamic and creates both depth and dimension. Love it!
