Just Thinking of You/Waltzing Mouse Challenge

Hello.  I am back again to share a card with you that I made for this weeks sketch at Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge.  I honored to see that I had won Top Mouse for last week's challenge.
For the middle I took tissue paper and folded it and then just messy stitched it on.  I didn't want it to have a perfect folded look.  I wanted this to be a quick and easy card, and it was just that.  I think it still has detail and embellishments though. 
I used my PTI set called Turning a New Leaf to stamp the background on the bottom.  I really need to get some WM stamps.  I am bad to see so many things I want then just freeze and do nothing.  I hate making the wrong decision.

Supplies:
Card Stock: PTI/Rustic Cream
DP: Basic Grey
Stamps: PTI/ Turning A New Leaf, Embellishments
Ink: Versa Magic/Wheat, Memento/Rich Cocoa
Seam Binding: Bluebird Lane Etsy
Ribbon: Satin from stash
Heart Charm: from beading stash

Thanks for stopping by,
Heather
