April Challenge-Piercing Tool

Although I participated in the Piercing Tool lesson during the Marathon early this year, I didn't quite get it and my project was a failure. I thought this challenge would be the perfect opportunity to try again. I think I need a little more practice but I'm happy the way this project turned out. The flourishes and inside frame are from the Craft Room Library. This is a picture of my mother when she was 16 years old, God rest her soul. I'm giving this project to my sister for her birthday.
