Fusion Challenge - Two Hearts

"...two hearts that beat as one..."  Yep. Still singing!

And who would not be singing after looking at the inspiration photo from Fusion's Two Hearts Challenge?  Who?

I tried something totally different this time as my supply of wood-grain paper is coming to an end.  I found a similar colored cardstock from American Crafts in my stash of papers, inked up a wood-grain embossing folder from Darice with a bit of Versamark + grey ink and ran it through my Cuttlebug... I am thrilled with the results. What do you think?

Inside sentiment:
"Hoping doesn't seem to make a difference. 
But you, and prayer, never fail to make me feel better! 
Thanks for being such a true friend."
 
Supplies:  Smokey Slate CS from PTI;  SSS, MFT, and Paper Smooches sentiment dies.

    Love the pink and black against the wood grain. The little heart peeking under the larger...darling detail. Nice crisp sentiment too! Love.

    Wonderful card. I love how you made your own woodgrain paper. It's fantastic. And, I like the trio consisting of 2 stars and a heart.

    Good grief, I thought it was actually real wood, like a veneer! I think that means your experiment was a success and needs to be repeated....awesome card!

    Smitten with that yummy woodgrain background and the contrast of the flowy (yes thats a real word LOL) cursive font sentiment. Really striking!
