Want2Scrap: The Key to my Heart

Have you been enjoying the new product releases from Want2Scrap?! Well, that's a silly question huh? I was sure to snap up the Card Size Antique Keys w/hardware - Chipboard and put it to use right away on this card. I love that Want2Scrap has great designs in dimensions for card makers and scrapbookers alike! They think of everything!

This fun card evolved after a desk top cleaning session. The background collage of papers originated as this.....

Oh my! that pile of trimmings to the right of my cutter is always under development! So I cleared away the recycleables and salvaged the pretty pieces and got busy making this card.

Another technique I want to share is alcohol inking multiple colors at one time on bling. Here I am using a piece from Sleek Strips Silver Rhinestones- Self Adhesive. The multi colored gem effect is made by tapping random dots of coordinating alcohol inks onto a felt inking pad and lightly tapping it over the bling. I love the cool look to this custom colored bling.

Once the ink was dry, I was able to adhere the strips, all three at once by attaching to one side of the card and carefully peeling back the liner plastic for perfectly aligned strips.
