Under The Weather?

I woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow in Sunderland - not what I was expecting. However, it explains why I had weather on my mind when I saw today's challenge at Less Is More...
 
PAPER PIERCING
We want to see some tiny holes dotted around on your creations this week ...

I got a bit excited at first when I read it because paper 'piecing' is one of my favourite techniques, then I wondered why Chrissie and Jen's cards had no paper piecing in sight so I re-read it!

I had to google paper piercing to come up with some inspiration but this is what I came up with...


The colour inspiration came from this week's challenge at The Play Date Cafe - lovely muted tones...


Hope this snow clears up soon - I have a papercraft show to go to tomorrow at Rainton Meadows - only about 5 miles away but I hate driving in the snow.
Thanks for visiting

  5. It's surprising how many people muddle piecing and piercing Sharon... there's only one letter difference after all, but a whole lot of difference in the technique.
    Your interpretation here is superb!
    Thanks so much
