Say it with…paper piercing
Hey there,
Glad that you could join me for another challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. Today is a bitter sweet day, as today is Jess‘ last day on the AnnaBelle DT. Jess has such an eye for CAS cards and she always embraces white space so naturally. It has been fun getting to know Jess and I wish her all the best.

Paper piercing is something I like to do from time to time – usually as a border. I was hoping to be a little more creative than piercing a border, but my time is very limited at the moment and my creative juices are low (I can blame report writing at school) – so I went for a border.
I used a MFT Chevron Stripes die to create the background and then heat embossed the bird cage over the top. Pretty simple really. I have few more ideas for this die floating around in my head, so no doubt you’ll be seeing more of it in the future (when my reports are finished!)
Supplies
Ink: Versafine – Onyx Black
Card: Tag – white, Hero Arts Layering Paper
Other Supplies: Tim Holtz ruler, paper piercer tool, foam piercing mat, MFT Chevron Stripes die, Cuttlebug, black felt pen, Marbig adhesive tap runner, AnnaBelle Stamps 0.8mm twine – white, Twill ribbon, Heat tool, AnnaBelle Stamps clear embossing powder – Hi gloss
