I made this for today's color challenge. A challenge is what this was. I did not want to do flowers and that is all that was coming to mind other than doing a collage. I have not used the sentiment or key stamp before, so I went from there. Not super happy with my card, but it will do for a graduation, 18th or 21st birthday etc.... The sentiment was stamped w/ black pigment ink and embossed w/ clear powder. The tag it is on is actually a manilla pricing tag from Staples. The key tag was embossed 3 times with gold EP and then the key stamp was pressed into the hot embossing after inking it with black pigment ink. Keyhole hdwe is by Li'l Davis Designs and the clock hdwe. in the middle of the clock face tag are by 7gypsies. Fancy Fibers are retired SU! and the yellow trim is BasicGrey, the taffeta is May Arts. Thanks for looking! Oh, card is 4 1/4" square, my favorite size!

You have a gift! This is really quite gorgeous. I love the key impression and different elements you incorporated. I think collage is the hardest thing for me to do and you make it look so easy. Wonderful inspiration... into my favs...
