Paper piercing!

I wanted to share this card, made with the paper piercing technique! The image is from Now & Always Unity Stamp set. There are some great tutorials on the internet, and it is not difficult, kind of relaxing to me.
The pierced design was so beautiful that I decided to do a clean and simple (CAS) card.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

You're "Grape"!

I've had the Preserves cartridge (Cricut machine) for some time and have not used it a lot.  Today I was frutty inspired and made this card, used distress ink for some dimension and embossing to add texture.
