Through the Keyhole

This one's a bit of a Craftwork Cards Bohemian Collection meets Papermania Urban stamps.  I decided to use this lovely keyhole stamp this time, which is the least used in this glorious set, I guess the others are just more obviously useable.
 The shaped blank is from Craftwork Cards, I coloured it with Victorian Velvet and Milled Lavender Distress Inks, then spritzed with water for a soft look.
The patterned and glitter papers are from Craftwork Cards Bohemian glitter pad, the flowers are from it too, they're die cut, I just shaped them and layered them up.
The stamped elements were done with Papermania Urban stamps, I stamped in Perfect Medium onto kraft and heat embossed with white powder.  I punched holes and set eyelets in the keyhole piece, and threaded plum ribbon through, topping with a bow.
The fancy circle was die cut with a grand Spellbinders die and the key was made with a Marianne die.  To finish off, I added a good handful of assorted pearls.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Card Crafter's Circle - #88 - Winged Things
Cards Galore - Bingo - Embossing, Ink, Ribbon
As You Like It - #8 - Favourite Ribbon / Twine And Why - Mine is 10mm satin ribbon ribbon.  I have it in just about every colour under the sun.  It's cheap, lovely and shiny, and ties into a nice, not too bulky double or triple bow with ease.
Whimsical Designs - Bingo - The only thing I haven't used is Stickles
Top Tip Tuesday - #107 - Embossing
Come and Get It - Things With Wings
Glitter 'n' Sparkle - #46 - Anything but Square

  11. I love satin ribbon too, but I go for the 15mm rather than the 10mm. I love the bows that it makes.
