Valentine, Be Mine

I combined two challenges in this card... Amy's sketch challenge (see sketch below) and Verve's Looking For Love release challenge day one (use colors Riding Hood Red, Blush and Kraft). I also used my very first Verve stamp set. Remember the card from this post? Well, guess who had a stamp set called Wild Thing... and it was on sale!
I used one of the hearts from the Wild Thing set, stamped it several times in Versamark, embossed with red embossing powder and arranged it to look kind of like a flower. I think I purchased the brad at Hobby Lobby. Thanks for looking!

Cardstock: Bazzill
Ink: Versamark
Stamp: Verve
Accessories: Red Embossing Powder, Offray Ribbon, Hobby Lobby Brad
