Add a Sentiment for Morgans ArtWorld

Well it is time for a new challenge over at Morgan ArtWorld, and we are keeping it simple for everyone, just add a sentiment, that's it. It could be "happy birthday", with sympathy and or Hello; as long as its a sentiment it qualifies. Here is my project.
Morgans ArtWorld Valentine 14

Card Tip:
The sentiment I have stamped on this card didn't quite fit; so I all I did was wipe off the ink where it didn't fit modifying it slightly without changing the stamp permanently.

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock: white card base, white card stock and Francheville red card stock
Stamps: Morgans ArtWorld Valentine 12, Justrite large fancy sentiments.
Ink: Versafine black onyx ink.
Markers:
