Thanks for the negative challenge, Kathy...it gave me a chance to use the ole Bard himself! Let me know how I did!
I wasn't quite sure how this card was going to come together, but in the end...the bits and pieces appeared and I got to use the BEST Wishes punches sentiment that CAKath brought me last week as a RAK. I think it fits perfectly in my Shakespeare collage. I used an unknown burgandy paper that was stamped with CHF scrapblock houndstooth inked in Adirondack raisin. I used Memento Tuxedo Black and Brilliance Moonlight white to create William. He is cut and popped on foam squares. The love letter paper is from Imaginations, Sonnets. The pen is cut from the same paper, embossed with super fine gold on the nib and UTEE'ed on the barrel. I added a K&CO clock brad to finish the card.
Thanks for looking and I appreciate your comments!

Wow! Way to stick with the Shakespearean theme! I love how your collage works together--and Will never looked better. Nicely detailed and very effective!

And who else would have Mr. Shakespeare himself?? ONe of these days (after I win the lottery) I am flying to your house for a field trip to see that massive collection of fabulous stamps you have. And you seem to retreive them so quickly so you must have an awesome organizing system as well.

So funky cool! Love the houndstooth! Hey, did you steal that timepiece off of one of Anne Ryan's cards? HEE! Love the dazzling gold brush alongside the scroll!
