You Hold the Key

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background. I inked through the Delicate Mask with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I move the mask to extend the design. Then, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the French Script Stamp from the Creative Expressions Texture Stamp Set using Dusty Concord. I made sure the ink was dry and then I dusted the whole area with my anti static bag. I randomly stamped the key stamp from the Creative Expressions From the Heart Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Blue Maroon Aurora Embossing Powder from the Pinks & Purples Set. I edged the background with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the From the Heart Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Blue Maroon Aurora Powder. I then stamped the frame around the sentiment using the same ink and powder. I cut the rubber away from the centre of my frame so I could line it up with the sentiment. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 4 Small and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany. I cut a mat out of purple card using Spellbinders Labels 4.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Cream Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment and a couple of Decorative Stick Pins. I pressed a key from the Assorted Key Charms Pack into the Perfect medium Ink pad a covered with Blue Maroon Aurora Powder. I tapped off the excess and heat set. I glued this at the base of my bow with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
