This is a first for me to combine more than 2 challenges, but it I think I did it. To get my motivation going, I put my Ipod on my Ipod speaker & stamp away after the kids go to bed.
CC296 Poppy Parade replaced it with SU Real Red cs, Tempting Turquoise replaced it Taken with Teal & GP white cs
TLC304 Faux or real stitching
SC235 Favorite Sketch
I used the CB heart die cut for the hearts, then used the CB small embossing folder that says "Love" for the center heart, the other hearts were ran through the CB Houndstooth folder. I added medium adhesive pearls to the hearts. I used red/white bakers twine, then tied on a red heart. I used my brand new Singer sewing machine to do the zig zag stitching around the card. The base of the card is SU Real Red and I used GP white cs as the background.
I hope the colors work for the color challenge, need to order more & new SU cardstock.

Love the layout and the how the center heart was cut to frame the word "love" - great card! I'm favoriting this! Love how you used your sewing machine to create the stitched border. I quilt but I'm hesitant to put my cards through my sewing machine... Maybe I'll pull out my old sewing machine and use that for cards as I see so many great ideas with sewing directly on cards.
