Key to the City

I have not stamped since Tuesday. The "crud" is creeping slowly through our household. I am now fighting an ear infection but managed to squeeze in a card for today's Featured Stamper
Paris Otremba. I chose to case an Eiffel card of hers and kept the same basic sketch. I changed the colors and added postmarks instead of Primas. Adirondack alcohol inks (bottle, ginger & gold) were used on the key hole because it was kind of scratched up. While I had the extra on the applicator tool, I decided to dab it over my images and script dp. I cut out the images and embossed them with clear powder. The key is Tim Holtz Grungeboard from the harlequin elements collection and I used the same inks on it. The fibers are BasicGrey infuse collection. All DP's are The Paper Studio. Stamps, inks and Grungeboard are available from
