'With Love' cards

Good morning everyone, another 'Less is More' post today.
This week they want us to do some ......................................
Paper Piercing
"We want to see some tiny holes dotted around on your
 creations this week" 
I don't do much paper piercing so it had me stumped for a
 while. Then I had this idea so just decided to go for it.
Hmmm must practice more I think, anyway here's what
 I came up with.Two cards as I wasn't happy with one, you decide
which one you prefer !
ps. Not a happy bunny today as the new bed we were expecting
 today hasn't arrived. It seems the van broke down, because it's a
Superking/expensive one the manufacturers insisted they deliver it
 themselves.Just glad we didn't move our old one first ! Sorry about
the lack on commenting yet again, still not feeling great.

    The first one is my fave Viv, although both are lovely...I really like the subtle piercing on the sentiment panel.
    Thanks so much

    I'm sorry you are not feeling great. I can't believe you made these gorgeous cards while not feeling well. I love the impact of that sponged circle.

    Both are stunning as always Viv but the first one is my favourite by a whisker. Only because orange is my fave colour though.
    Sorry you`re still under the weather. I hope you feel much better soon.

    What is there not to love about these cards?! Wonderful and beautiful and eye catching. Love them both. I wish I was a better stamper and could do the images how you did them. Plus love the faded coloring on the circles. Just beautiful
    Thanks for playing with us at Clearly Inspired Challenges. Hope to see you March 8 when the new challenge is posted. Until then Happy Craftin!
