Sending Love

Here's my card for this week's challenge at Global Design Project.  I used the sketch to make a card that would work nicely for Valentine's Day.

I replaced the oval in the sketch with a large dotted heart die cut from red cardstock.  For a contrasting background, I used a piece of paper from an older patterned paper pad with a repeated text background.  After adding a piece of black cardstock across the patterned paper panel and wrapping it with some black baker's twine, I added the heart on top using foam tape for dimension.  I used a paper punch to make a silver scallop edged strip to put over the heart for the sentiment. The "love" sentiment from one of the stamps in the I'll Be Brief stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs was stamped on the right side of the silver strip.  I die cut the word "sending" from gray paper and added it on top of the silver strip to finish the card.
