a hearty sketch card

this week's theme at the city crafter challenge blog is HEARTS! our lovely hostess (& CCCB founder) kirsty vittetoe left her heart in san francisco several years ago, but i left mine in paris! ok, technically, i haven't actually been there yet, but i'll go someday, and i feel pretty confident loving it in advance! :) in the meantime, i tend to make quite a few collagey cards with a parisian theme, for some reason, i find this works especially well for anniversaries. in this case, i used pencil lines sketch #199:

i had to compress it quite a bit to make a card instead of a layout but i think you can still see the bones of it:

(vntage: postcard, sheet music w/ french lyrics, bride & groom illustration; digi: eiffel tower (printed on inkjet transparency) from "paris holiday" kit, o'scraps; patterned paper: making memories, prima, basic grey, doodlebug, scrapbook wizard, anna griffin; glossy black cardstock: ranger; flowers: prima; brad: doodlebug; punches: martha stewart, ek success; heart dies: cuttlebug; gems: recollections; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, uhu gluestick, sewing machine)

the city crafter challenge is open until midnight tomorrow (monday, 8-16) and as always there is a fairly cool prize up for grabs, so why not put your heart into your work and sneak in under the deadline?! :)
