Peaceful Candle

Hello All,

For today I am entering challenges from Inkspirational. Here is my card for today. Enjoy!
This card is so peaceful during a season that can be awfully hectic.
Lots of layers and, although not intrusive, the piercing provides a subtle frame for the lantern.
It becomes an essential part of the design.
Another look at the piercing framing the beautiful lantern.
I added black strips to the back of the piercing.
This way they wouldn't be so lost on the card and be more visible.
I die cut the sentiment from glittery foam with adhesive back. I just placed it on the layers of holly which were diecut from various shades of green PP. 
Challenges Entered:

    Hi Shawna-this is a great example of paper piercing. Love how you have bulit up the layers here and that lovely soft glow around the candle. Thanks for joining Ink

    Gorgeous Christmas card and it was a great idea to add the black strips behind the piercing - it makes it really stand out! Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges.

    This is beautiful. Traditional and peaceful. And I do love the effect of both the layering and the piercing. Thanks for joining our challenge at Inkspirational!
