Great challenge Paula!
I used Craft Artist (the upgrade to Serif's Digital Scrapbook Artist that I just downloaded this AM). I used text on a shape, punches for the flowers and leaves, edge effect with color outline, brushes (the rope), metallic and glass effects for the lettering and the hearts, and the usual straight cuts with scissors.
