Homespun heart banner

Hello everyone! The challenge over at Less is More is Homespun and this is what I came up with.

The banner and heart are cut out of a piece of canvas sheet that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. It was in the scrapbook paper area and there was one 12 x 12 piece in the package. I picked a few of them up when they were half price and have horded them for a while.

I used the banner and heart die from the Simon Says Stamp die set called stitched shapes. Here is the link. To color the heart I used the watermelon alcohol ink and then heat set it.

Used one of the rectangle stitched dies from Lil' Inkers to emboss on the kraft cardstock. The reason I used Kraft on this is so that my banner didn't fade into the background. When I used a white card base it all but disappeared. I have also thought that kraft, cream and red make a wonder color combo anyway.

Sentiment is from PTI. I added a piece of red bakers twine to the top so that it appears that it is a banner and then added a string bow to the heart. Kept this pretty clean and simple as it will most likely go to my DH for Valentines day.  Thanks for stopping by.
