1 Card // 2 Challenges

Today's card was inspired by 2 challenges...

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge // #477 ...A sketch challenge!!  When I saw the sketch I went straight to my scrap box...those pieces are parts that have been cut out as set aside.  I knew that there had to be a heart in there and sure enough there was.  I wrapped the heart in twine to get the sectioned look called for in the sketch...then finished it off with a sentiment and some sponging.

Festive Friday // #FF0110 ...An inspo list challenge!!  From the list of ten items given in honor of World Music Day, choose three and include them in your card.  My three from the list are Black, White, and String.
