I adore this image ... and the look of natural French linen! What better way to embrace their look than with kraft card stock? and a snippet of patterned paper, perhaps? That is where my heart took me for my IB160 card ...
Perhaps you didn't even notice the woodgrain of the table those little sachets were lying on? I never miss a chance to use this old wood grain embossing folder from The Paper Studio! I've added a little love by way of my MFT Blueprints tag builder 3, and brought out my sewing machine - we're getting along better today. Don't even ask about the patterned paper - it's been around for much too long to still have the packaging - there was just enough to cut my MFT Stitched heart!
So where will your heart take you? We're so hoping it will lead you to join us this week! Let's go see how our team was inspired by IB160, shall we?

I noticed the stitching right away and I'm impressed! You found the perfect patterned paper to match this inspiration and as always, you've mastered the inspiration!
Although I know you love subtle colors you've absolutle dumbfounded me with this amazing take on the inspiration. Incorporated all the lovely elements, including actual stitching, to make this gorgeous and sweet valentine. I'd say your little creative rest was exactly what you needed to jump start your juices at mach speed.
Lovely!! LOVE the sewing - it is a perfect accent to your sweet heart and the woodgrain.

So pretty! I love the stitching detail and the woodgrain pattern!
Love everything about this card---the pretty floral paper, the kraft, the stitching, and the cute banner! Oh, and the woodgrain background, too.
What a perfect time to pull out the old wood grain and patterned paper, not to mention the sewing machine! Perfectly lovely, my friend!

Words I will never say.....”I brought out my sewing machine” ...... but you my friend knew just when to do that! The stitches are the perfect detail on this sweet card!
I love this!
Very sweet! Love all the texture!
Oh my goodness, Michele! This is stunning. I noticed the details right away. That stitching blew me away. Absolutely perfect choice. I don't know what it is called or even if I could ever replicate it, but it looks amazing. You are a master of your craft. Hugs!
Absolutely gorgeous Valentine, every detail is perfect and inspiring!
Sweet, sweet card Michele and I'm in awe of the stitching...I've totally given up stitching on cards as my machine just doesn't like cardstock...grrrrr! Love the woodgrain background and your heart just couldn't be any lovelier!! Beautiful card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
