Exciting News!!!.........{Seize The Sketch #12}

Good Morning everyone!!!
I have some exciting news to share!! 
I know some of you know how much I love working with card sketches.....
AND 
I play along with Seize the Sketch challenges as much as I can....
WELL 
Design Team Badge
I was asked to join the DT!! The announcement was made yesterday HERE


 So for my first post as a new DT member, we are using this sketch 
and here is the Valentine's Day card I made with it!
The designer papers are from Carta Bella~Devoted paper pack and I added some machine stitching to the border.
All the stamps and dies come from My Creative Time~
I used the 100% Sweetness Stamp set with the matching heart die for the sentiment, heart die cut and matching  "love" pattern on the heart. I did heat emboss the heart to give it some more texture and really make the wording pop on the card.
I layered the banner~ which comes from the Vintage Stitched Label Dies onto the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die and added some Totally White Trendy Twine which I stitched to the pattern paper layers.

So what do you think???
I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!
Make sure to head on over to the Seize The Sketch blog to see what the other DT members created with this sketch and for all the details on how you can play along.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!
