I'm covering two challenges with this card and I am thankful to my across the street stamping/crafting neighbor for the loan of her oval cutters. I appreciate you, Kristi!!!
Going through my image book this morning, I thought this key would be neat for the eyelet challenge. I'll finish the details in a bit...gotta catch the mail.
Now that this is uploaded, I realize you might not be able to see at each hole of the top of the key is a word...FAITH,HOPE,LOVE. I stamped this Stampers Anonymous image with walnut stain and embossed with a rough rust ep. I used various metallic twinkling H2O's on the key, with iridesience violet on the LIFE tag. The oval is distressed and inked with tangerine ink and popped on dots. The son is the Chelsa font from Ma Vincis', who has the best um rubber alphas around in my thinking. I stamped it with black VersaColor and embossed in clear.
I'm slipping this in the mail this afternoon for my son who is pondering some important questions right now...I want him to remember I'm praying for him...I don't hold the key to his life, but I know the ONE who does! Thanks for looking
