XOXO Flower Card

Today, I received my first crafting injury.  I was punching out the corrugated kraft flower and pinched the palm of my hand pretty good.  So, I now have a bruise from crafting.  Oh well, beauty can be painful. 

The XOXO Flower Card was made using the Retro Sketches challenge and the colour challenge from ColourQ.  I love the simplicity of this weeks sketch, it was super easy to put together and still maintains a dramatic look. 

XOXO Flower Card Supplies: Black folded card by Recollections, real red cardstock, whisper white cardstock, and Summer Smooches dsp by Stampin' Up!, parakeet cardstock by Bazzill Basics, kraft corrugated paper (source unknown), Fiskars apron lace edge punch (01-004597), blossom punch by Stampin' Up! (125603), 1" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, Cricut machine, Straight from the Nest cartridge (leaves), Charming stamp set by Stampin' Up! (retired), black dye ink, XOXO sentiment stamp by Stampabilities (A1026), VersaMark watermark stamp pad, Zing! white embossing powder, heat tool by The Paper Studio, rhinestone brad, and stampin' dimensionals.

    This is wonderful! That sketch had me running for the hills, but you nailed it! I have pinched myself using those punches! No pain, no gain, eh?? Thanks so much for playing with the CQC this week!
