Ismaki's Challenge 09/005

http://ismaki.wordpress.com/ has a pretty sketch this week by Isabelle Norris, which also must have a heart on it.

The stitching on the sketch looked fun so I thought I'd give it a go. I used my Hero Arts cupcakes stamp, coloured with Copics and with the cherry on top added with a sticky pad to give them dimension. I glued ribbon on and then stitched with a heavy vareigated thread over the top. The sentiment is from Elusive Images, I've gold embossed it to make it stand out. Paper from the sale at Stamp Addicts.

Oh, the heart is some grungeboard I bought about a year ago, having seen a demo. It's sat in the drawer ever since! I've coloured it with chalk ink and then added some random gold embossing.
