HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Today's card is a creation that I am giving my little sis, The Cricut Crazed Lady, for Valentine's.   She loves the trendy old skeleton keys so, I am busting out my Sentimentals cartridge!  I cut all three keys at 3" in different silver colored shimmer papers and then black shadows.  One of them had a hole at the top but, the other two, I punched the hole in.  I bought some black jewelry chain in the jewelry making section at Joann's.   It was on sale so I think I paid like $2 for several feet of it. 

The card is a 5x5 black base with pink and silver metallic paper from the DCWV Metallic stack.   I punched the bottoms using the border punch from a MS all around the page punch.   I used my Crop A Dile (really into it now) for the eyelets in the top corners.  

Since the chain is real, I didn't want to run it through the eyelets because it would be bulky on the back so, I threaded some black thread through the chain and then taped the thread onto the back of the card.  The keys are all pop dotted and the sentiment was printed on my computer and then I inked it in pink and mounted it to a small piece of the metallic silver.

On the inside, I used two strips of the pink metallic on the top and bottom of the card.   I used a black piece and then border punched it across the top and bottom and then I added the rest of the sentiment in the center.  The lock was also cut from Sentimentals at 2 1/2" using some other metallic papers.  

She loved the card!!
