Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #85-Heartfelt Thanks

Today I have a card I made for Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #85.  This week's sketch is by Jen Cuthbertson and has lots of possibilities:

I flipped the sketch over and used Waltzingmouse Bitty Banners stamped onto My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Market Street papers.  They are the most soft and pretty papers with lots of pinks and aqua mist green patterns.  The circle medallions are from Waltzingmouse Dainty Doilies topped with buttons and rhinestones.  They are folded and looped over twine woven through a Spellbinder Edgeability diecut.  The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Frame It stamped on my most favorite piece of the Lost and Found paper with the really pretty roses.  This card will make a nice little thank you for one of my crafty friends.  Thanks for taking a peek.
