Here's what I've been playing with:
Here's what I used to create this card:
Bo Bunny® Love Letters 6x6 Collection
Key Charm from Stampin' Up!®
Miscellaneous Brads
Here's what I did to create this card:
- Die cut heart from Bo Bunny® paper
- Add a thin layer of gesso over entire die cut heart
- Tape stencil in center of heart and paste emboss with silver paste
- Set aside heart to dry
- Create 5x5 square card base with a tent fold
- Trim wood grain paper to fit in background as shown
- Once paste is almost dry, heat with heat gun allowing some areas to bubble up, this gives a rough, worn look
- Once paste has cooled, replace stencil over paste and buff on Metallic Lustre™ all over
- Using PITT pen, outline the entire pasted design and color the keyhole
- Punch three holes and add brads
- Adhere heart to background paper
- Stamp sentiment on wood grain paper and layer onto green mat as shown
- Trim ribbon to fit across the front of background paper, wrap ends under each side
- Loop twine through top of key charm and attach to ribbon as shown with knot on back of ribbon
- Attach sentiment with foam squares as shown
- Using PITT pen, ink key to reduce shine and age key slightly
I love the shabby chic feel of my card. For more frilly fun, visit the rest of the "A" team:
