From time to time, I have to go through my files and do some housecleaning. My day to day creative efforts at Pazzles tend to get scattered in different places especially when I am busy. Often, I find a file I started or sometimes even finished but never was used. Such is the case with today’s Just Chatting file.
I had created this file to show off layering and in the process I played with turning one of the layers into a piercing line. I really do love using piercing as a subtle accent. It becomes an unexpected textural surprise on the card.
Adding a simple piercing line to an existing project is easy. For instance, my card had three base tile layers.
I simply selected the center layer line and converted it to piercing. I could have done the same thing for the banner label as well. The piercing gives the illusion of another layer.
I generally leave my piercing for these types of accents at the same setting of 0.1. You may prefer larger spacing between the holes so I suggest you play around to see what settings you like.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the idea, it looks great. Will try it on my next card, I haven’t used the piercing tool yet. Once again a BIG thankyou.
Thank you for the great reminder Christine! I will definitely have to revisit this technique! Thank you as well for the great files!
