The Challenge this week has a picture inspiration and the twist is use an eyelet somewhere on your project. Thank you so much for asking me to contribute Ladies.

List of materials used to make this card:

Wonderful image 'You and Me' from Tiddly Inks can be found here.

Card stock is 6" x 6" Centura Pearl from Crafter's Companion. I have again used my favourite colour tones at present which are browns with a highlight colour. In this card I have used creams. I have used black glitter card for the die cut heart which is a Cheery Lynn Die.

Design paper is from my stash as is the sentiment banner.

Lace, flowers, 3 ribbons, pearls and metal to make key and lock are from my stash.

Key and lock die cuts are made using a Tim Holtz Die and the metal had been embossed by me before I cut the shapes.

I have made a hidden Engagement Label which has been die cut and decorated with ribbons.

All card and paper edges have been distressed using Vintage Photo Distress Ink from Tim Holtz.
