Stitched Friend card

Hello!

I wanted to participate in Marie's inspiration challenge again, especially after missing last week's!  Things have been a little busy here, so I haven't been creating as much as I'd like.  Anyway, here's her inspiration photo, courtesy of Crate and Barrel:

Here's my card:

I'm not entirely happy with it, but oh well.  Maybe it will grow on me. :)  I wanted to keep the design of the card fairly simple, because the items in the photo are simply designed as well.  The heart is embossed with clear powder - I don't have the Craft pad of Pumpkin Pie, so I first inked my stamp with VersaMark, then Pumpkin Pie Classic ink.  I then stamped it and embossed with clear powder, then cut it out and layered it onto the Full Heart punch-out with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a bit of faux stitching with my Signo White Gel Pen and Chocolate Chip marker.  Not sure what's up with me and the wavy-ness down at the bottom.. I will say that in my defense, my contact lenses are drying out.  ;)

Well, I'm off to bed, as it's a little after midnight here.  See you later!
