Non-Valentine's Love card

While this set screams "Valentine's Day" to me, I don't see any reason LOVE needs to stay one day a year.  So, I went with some non-traditional eggplant-purple to see if I could make an everyday-love card.  I think it works.  :)
Ingredients:
Stamps: (Loads of Love): Ippity

Ink: (Basic Black, Whisper White): Stampin Up
Paper: (Basic Black, Eggplant Envy- LONG out of production, Whisper White): Stampin' Up
Misc: (Eggplant Envy Marker- LONG out of production): Stampin' Up, (Red Le Plume II Marker): Marvy, Copics, Red grosgrain

Challenges:
Marathon Challenge: Miles 6 & 7: Eggplant
Apron Strings: #17: BINGO- All cardstock
Shopping our Stash: #41: Sentiments required
Unity Stamp Co. Challenge: Hearts other than red/pink.  Ok.  There are a few small red hearts here but the large and bulk of them are purple.  Again, the point was NOT a Valentine's style card.
Chick Challenges: #19 (I had used SU's Background Basics to "spatter" the 3 purple panels and assembled the card before I realized this is an Ippity ONLY challenge so I went back and sponged over the spatter.  I hope it meets criteria.)
 
This is the original version:
