Stitched Love (CC:Smitten)

 
Today's card was inspired by Curtain Call's Smitten Challenge photo.
I cross-stitched a panel cut with Papertrey's Strip Stitch Die (thanks Marybeth for sending some to try out!).  I enjoyed doing it, but it took me a lot longer than I expected....a lot longer.  I followed somewhat of a pattern for the letters and winged it with the mulit-colored stitches.  I was hoping it somewhat resembled the photo, replacing the swirly grey pattern with the letters.  The colors ended up being quite a bit bolder than I was going for, but I guess it gets the message across loud and clear. :)

    Hey Lindsay--this comment is for all three of your Curtain Call cards. This one is super cool, and you are ambitious to try to cross stitch on paper. The look is fabulous, and I like how your embellies carry through. Your other two flicked cards are so fun. I am in awe of your flicking talent.
