I also raided my decorative paper stash. Most are papers I picked up during an "open to the public" sale at Select Imports, which is a wholesale distributor. I have an addiction for paper, so am always picking something up, but very rarely use them in my artwork. I prefer decorating and using my own papers. This was an exception. It combined both!! These papers are very textural and usually hand dyed, some are faux leatherette, one is a black open webbed type paper.

They also all deal with a "Key" theme. The large key & lock are from Just Jhones "This & That" sheet. The border keys are from Stubby Stampers #3878. The Key charm on this page is from a cheapie brand.

I rubber stamped the images with either gold stamp pad and embossed with Queen's gold or Detail gold. The others I stamped with Pheasant gold and embossed with Hematite. the lettering was either done with a black micron pen or Dr martin's Bleed Proof white with a quill nib.

I used four main cardstocks, a cream toned Bazzill monochromatic, a speckled dark brown Mi-Tientes, a rusty brown (unknown) and a black value pack cardstock.
