As my husband sometimes reminds me ... they can't all be winners.
That's how I would describe this card inspired by the Messages from the Heart cloth book from Chasing Fireflies. I really like the patchwork heart technique, but if I did it again I wouldn't stay so true to the colors of the book. Some hearts are embossed ... others are stamped.
Several have pointed out that this also works for Sketch 235 ... I must have had a premonition when I made it last weekend :^)
