I really liked that card and wanted to CASE it but hadn't gotten around to it yet. This challenge seemed perfect.
I used some retired dsp and carefully selected patterns arranging them. I die cut the rich razzleberry polka dot paper and layered it three times for dimension, wrapped gold cord around it and attached. I added old olive cs where the various dsp meet. I added a gold cord bow to the button and attached it with a glue dot.
My youngest daughter loves keys so this seemed like a perfect time to use the two sizes of keys that I have just for some interest. I die cut the sentiment and there you have it!
Thanks for looking!

Great use of strips and I really like how you featured the artistic etchings set. Mine hasn't seen ink yet, but I may have to take it out and play with it now. Thanks for the inspiration!

Catherine this is really pretty! I love all the elements in this card, the key, the button and all the different dp - it all comes together so beautifully!!

What a great combination of strips and colour-blocking, Catherine! That sentiment that reaches across the width of the card is cool looking. Great colours and the added stamping adds so much interest.

Nice! So much to love here. I've always been partial to a block design and keys. The colors are lovely together. Nice work with the pattern papers and design.
