Sunday Stamps Sketch #198 with Heartfelt Thank You

When I saw this wonderful Sunday Stamps Sketch I knew I had the perfect new stamp to feature in this challenge.  The "Thank You in Heart" stamp is called Heartfelt Thank You from Close to My Heart.  The pink polka dotted paper is from Heart Happy paper pack (available only until 2/28/19)  I used a Heart Thin Cut to make the background heart from Pixie Card Stock.  The background Card Stock is Raspberry.


Although I don't know the source of the ribbon or twine the jeweled flowers are from the Paper Studio.
