It's another Friday Focus with Flourishes today! I have the privelage of giving a tutorial today on a product I just love, the Spellbinders Pierceability templates! I love piercing, it just adds that perfect finished touch to any card. I have long eyed those gorgeous cards that have the intricate piercing...and now I can do it too! So please stop by the Flourishes Newsletter to see what I've come up with.
I made two cards that I'll show you here too:
On this first card I used the Victorian Pierceability Template to cut and as a guide for piercing. The Lilacs are colored with Copic Markers.
On this second card I used the Pierceability Template to cut, to emboss, to sponge and to pierce. The Tulips are also colored with Copic Markers.
Be sure to stop by these wonderful Design Team Members blogs to see what they've pierced today too :)
