PPA 104 CAS Challenge

Paper piercing is a stylish but simple way to add interest to your design!  Pals Paper Arts challenges you to create a CAS card using paper piercing.   Have fun with this one - go ahead and poke some holes!  Nicole Watt joins the design team as featured artist this week.
My card today features piercing as a border and as embroidery.  I hope you it inspires you.
PPA 104, Paper Piercing, Embroidery,  Embroidered Leaves, Embroidered Stems, Carla's Scraps
For the flower medallions, I cut each at a different width, but all are are 12” long and scored at 1/4” all across.  I fan folded each strip, glued the ends together and adhered with Tomboy Mono Adhesive to a 1/2” punched circle.  I added the brads and adhered to my card the same way.   My leaves are punched with the Blossom Petals Die.

Hey there, Flower Pal! I LOVE this card too, but I knew I would! You know I love anything you make! Love the mix of patterns and the trio of flowers together! So smart to combine your "paper piercing" with a little embroidery! I love it! Love all the bling too! A perfect balance! Thanks for sharing, friend! Lots of hugs! -

Carla, it is such a lovely card! How do you mail cards like this or with the flowers you make? I'd be so afraid that they would get smashed even with a padded envelope.
