Introducing: Lock & Key, Day Five

Designers love the look of white on white and cream on cream! I do too!

I thought it would be nice to create a love note as elegant as the designs above!

What I ended up creating exploded into a clear favorite of mine! I cannot wait to hide this in Todd's suitcase the next time he goes away on business, with a little handwritten love note!




I used layers of papertrey cream cardstock, die cut and edge cut. The sentiment in in chocolate and the keys are stamped with brilliance platinum. I used a little of the platinum ink on the edges of the die cut shapes. Some pearls and some cream ribbon on the card!

I think using chocolate and scarlet red makes for quite an elegant look!

This is a simple design. I loved how the first inspirational photo had a bunch of keys tied together!

Each of the keys was die cut and stamped with a different color ink, then tied with twill and rustic thread. The base was die cut on the bottom, then impressed. I layered and pleated some lace I found in my craft closet. A layer of PTI scarlet ribbon was placed on top of that, and then I placed some buttons on each side!




So what do you think?
