Thank You, Thank You, Thank You (card)

I said it before and I'll say it again - I am really loving the new Plus One line from Amy Tan!  Definitely one of my favorites of the new releases!  In honor of St. Patrick's Day I thought I'd share a green card (it has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day...but it is green :))  I am also entering this into the current challenge on the Northridge Publishing blog asking for a card using stitching.  I went for hand stitching using, of course, an Amy Tan embroidery template!

The black diagonal stripes were created using her stitching template.  The awesome green, patterned paper base is also from her.  I added some simple chipboard hearts from Studio Calico and a chipboard speech bubble from Pebbles.  The sentiment had to be a black and so I reached into my stash of SRM Stickers and pulled out this perfect one!  Bakers twine from the Twinery topped with a clothespin from my American Crafts stash are the final touches.
