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.
