Burlap Heart (Card Concept 2: Texture & Simon Says..String/Twine)

I ran out of time this weekend to play with the second Card Concept Challenge, which was a bit disappointing; however, I woke up this morning with a very clear idea in my head of what I could do for this challenge, and I just had to make the card.  I normally don't craft while my little one is awake, but I knew he would enjoy painting as well, so we got out the acrylic paints and went to town.  I drew inspiration for both the texture and layout of my card from The Card Concept photo.   
I die cut PTI's Framed Out #11 die for the stencil for my heart and painted directly on the burlap.  I also painted the mini clothespins to match the cardstock.  The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter's The Big, the Bold, and the Happy.  I used PTI's Stitching Lines Dies, so I could stitch the sentiment flag on, so I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Anything Goes with Twine or String Challenge.  ETA:  Oops...I forgot to mention the style of the card: clean and simple.  I think that's a requirement for The Card Concept.  Yikes...I just looked at the time.  I better link this up before it's too late.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a happy Monday!

Stamps: The Big, the Bold, and the Happy (Winnie & Walter)
Ink: Dark Chocolate (PTI)
Paper: Rustic White (PTI)
Dies: Framed Out #11, Sketched Shapes, Stitching Lines (PTI)
Other: burlap, string, clothespins, paint
