CFC Challenge at Outlawz

     One more Valentine to add to my growing collection and this time I used one of the images drawn by Sandi Huggett for the Creative Freebie Challenge at Outlawz.   I chose to use Tracy's Sketch from Eat, Sleep, Stamp, although I used a narrow oval instead of a circle for the image panel.  By the way, thanks so much to all of you who played and entered a card using Tracy's sketch last week.  She had a great turn-out and I appreciate all the support you showed her!  A few more weeks like that and she may just decide to keep the sketches going every Thursday.  That will make me soooo happy 'cause I love her sketches!

     I also chose colors from the Tuesday color challenge at Outlawz, black, white and red.  There's a twist with that challenge and we also had to add embossing.  I used a VersaMark pen on the heart and then heat embossed it with Rosebud matte EP.  The rest of the stamp was colored with ProMarkers.

     The piece directly behind the image is border-punched felt, matted with black CS.  The heart dp is also matted with black CS, and before adhering it to the card front, I wrapped it with red, polka dot ribbon, and tied on a metal heart charm.  I added the black, polka-dot, ribbon bows and the card was finished.
