Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

I'm combining a couple of challenges with today's card: a brand-new Deconstructed Sketch (#61) and this week's TCP Tuesday challenge (#219). First, the sketch:

(which I rotated a quarter-turn)

And next the TCP Tuesday challenge. Susan, our hostess with the mostess, is asking us to use any bear image, along with either the Apron or Queen of Hearts die. I chose the sweet bear from Bear Hugs, partly because it's just so dang cute and partly because I knew it would fit the {rotated} sketch perfectly. The papers are from My Mind's Eye's 6x6 Love Me collection. The bottom border strip is where I included the Queen of Hearts CutUps die. I kept this one pretty simple, with just some Divine Twine, a button, stitching and distressing as accents.

Add your entry to the guestbook on Alma's Blog and/or upload to the SCS Gallery, using the keyword TCPTUES219 for this week's challenge. 4. TCP stamps/dies are not required, but of course, highly encouraged. {Unless it is a challenge calling for a specific stamp/die, like this week) 5. There will be one randomly chosen weekly winner, announced on Tuesdays. 6. There will be one winner, The Swanky Stamper, announced the 1st of each month. They will win several sets from an upcoming release and get to play along with us at our Pajama Party and Blog Hop.

Happy Thursday, and stay cool (depending on what part of the world you're in)!
