Red, kraft and brown

.....are the colors for this week's CR84FN challenge.  Here is the inspiration picture:


And here is my entry:


I started with Jennifer McGuire's technique to use an acrylic block and some water-misted fired brick distress ink to make my red background.  That was overstamped in brown with the Love quote, then trimmed out and framed in dark brown cardstock.  I added some beautiful ecru crochet lace (a gift from Carole), and also some stamped heart buttons hung on some tan twine. 

I'm also entering this into Really Reasonable Ribbon's challenge: Hearts. 

Supplies: cream parchment, kraft and dark brown cardstocks, fired brick distress ink misted with water on an acrylic block and Memories Artprint Brown inks, Our Daily Bread "1 Corinthians", Hero Arts CL406 SparkleClear Buttons, crochet lace, twine

    Love 1 Cor.13! Lin, I was wondering where you had gone! I thought it's not like Lin to not post cards, but recently I understood that you were working on a project - hush hush... I am very curious!

    I'm glad I know you like I do, otherwise I may have missed this post. I worked today and figured you might have posted twice. Beautiful background and the lace from Carole is so pretty! I love your sweet hearts hanging from the twine!
