Inkspirational - Paper-Piercing

Hi everyone! We've got a new challenge at Inkspirational and it was chosen by Shauna and it's -Paper-Piercing!
This isn't something I have often done (in fact, don't do what I did once and enter the challenge misreading it as paper-piecing!)- so it took me a while to come up with this. 

I made a panel with Distress Ink and a hearts stencil, spritzed with water and stamped with birds from Sheena Douglass and a circular sentiment. I then die-cut it with a circular 'stitched' stencil , thinking that'd be my piercing - but I just didn't think it was obvious enough. So then I found a stencil with little holes in it and used a pokey tool and foam mat to pierce a circle on the white card. This was my second attempt and it's still not great - I think you may suspect why that bit of  ric-rac has been added! 

I hope you'll join in the challenge and show you can do better than me - the rest of the DT certainly have! 

I'd like to enter:

    This looks great, Marina! I think your piercing worked out well -no one knows if there's some mistake behind the ric-rac! Love the color scheme of this card. xxx

    What a great card, love the image. I like how you used the heart stencil as a background and did the circle you created. Thank you for joining our challenge at International Art & Soul.

    Very pretty Marina! I like the coloring and bird silhouette and the fantastic showcase of piercing with that circle!

    One could say you’ve used both real and faux piercing techniques. Your double piercing makes your clean card design really special. I think you did a great job on this one!
