Messages from the Heart

Fireflies1 Did you ever have one of those cards where you put in a lot of time and effort … and then were less than pleased with the end result?  As my husband often reminds me, they can't all be winners.  That is how I feel about my card for this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge.  It was inspired by this Messages from the Heart Cloth Book from Chasing Fireflies

I loved the patchwork hearts, but I should have been less literal in my design.  I tried to stick with the colors in the book, but the end result seems much busier than intended.  If I did it again, I would try to use more coordinating patterns and colors.  To keep my heart-squares the same, I punched the heart first, and then used a template to cut the square around it.

I used lots of scraps of cardstock and DP, some embossing, and some stamping.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
