Fusion 8/17 Challenge

Playing along with the new challenge @ Fusion.  Here is the inspiration piece for the challenge:

I used the sketch for my card, along with some Distress Oxide inks and the new Stamp of Approval kit from Catherine Pooler.

Distress Oxide inks: Fossilized Amber, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Wild Honey, and Vintage Photo

The background strip was created with the leaf stencil from the SOA kit, blending several colors of Distress Oxide inks.  The leaves were stamped and fussy cut and he stitch strip was cut with one of the kit dies and inked with Distress Oxide inks.  The sentiment, also from the kit, was stamped with Icing on the Cake ink from Catherine Pooler. I did some distressing and penwork on the edges, then added a twine bow and inked wooden heart.
