First I stamped and colored the adorable cow from the Funny Farm Crew set, cut it out with a circle nestie and got everything I needed together. When I am piercing circles I always us some plastic canvas that I picked up in the craft section of my local dollar store.
Next I position my canvas over my cut image and start to pierce. I try to center the holes the best as I can, sometimes I do better than others with it!
Here is my image after I am finished piercing.
Next I decided to pierce the background of my card instead of using patterned paper, I placed my image on my card (no glue yet) and figured out where I wanted my circles to go, I also stamped my sentiment from the Funny Farm Sentiments Set that is on sale this week! so I would know where not to pierce.
Once I was happy with all the piercing I attached the image and added a couple of enamel dots to finish it off!
Great tutorial. I have used one of those for the main stamp but have never thought to use it on the background. I love that idea!
Love the pierced circles on the background and around your image! TFS! Now I NEED to go get some plastic canvas circle templates! LOL
This is a great tutorial. I had never thought of using plastic canvas as a template.
wow great tip Peggy, I will definitely look for those plastic canvases , I haven’t seen them in circle shapes before
This is awesome. Where may I purchase one of those wheels?
Fabulous idea and who would have thought to use these canvas circles as templates!! TFS
What a geat idea. I will have to go get me some circle templates later today when I have to visit the $$ store.
Wow. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Do you use plastic canvas for squares too? I bet it would work!
I do! I even cut a sheet up so that I have one that is card sized so I can do the perimeter of it!
So cute Peggy. Now I have to find that circle and get started using this technique.
This is so cool! Love the look! TFS!
What a great idea! Now I’ll be looking at my plastic canvas stash in a whole new way – thanks for the great tip and tutorial!
