I've chosen to use Prima's Valenciennes for my project today. The color that I've used is no longer available, but there are other colors available. I really love the added vintage bling on the Valencienne trim.
This image is by LaBlanche..."Foxglove." I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, then colored it with Copic markers. After coloring it, I framed it out by cutting a rectangle out of DP, then used a Spellbinder Rectangle die to pop out the center. You can just barely see the dimension on this photo, it presents quite nicely IRL.
The decorator paper used today is Prima's "Botanical Collection" 6 X 6" pad. The key embellishment is from Prima's "Vintage Trinkets-Locks and Key." A bit of May Art's 1/4" Ivory Silk "attaches" the key to the card.
All supplies used today (minue the Copic Markers) are from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

How about a blooper? Or what I would call a blooper anyhow...I fiddled with this card and was not happy with the way it looked in the photo...here's my first design, check it out.
I love this cameo from Bo Bunny's "Gabrielle Trinkets" but just was not happy with the final results. So, it was edited out...a day in the life!

Love the trim Deb! Also like the key embellishment - just right! Thanks for sharing.
OH I love this card and it has seriously inspired me to make one like it using something I have had for awhile!!! I have had it for a good year, love it, but just not certain what to do with it...NOW I know! Thank you so much.
Oh, and I forgot to mention I really appreciate your showing the blooper. It helps to know that amazingly creative people like you also have design blocks. AND it helps me to identify one option that is better than the other - definitely better! :)
Love the ribbon
