Head over to the challenge blog here for all the details and to see the cards from the rest of the team.

To make my card I used two different papers from the Classic Garage collection from Stampin' Up (now retired) and one of the sentiments from the All Geared Up stamp set.

My metal is a key embellishment which was part of the suite.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

To make my card I printed out two of the images from the Leaves set of digital stamps, coloured them with Promarkers and cut them out.

I put these on a piece of patterned paper from Craft Creations and added a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up between the two leaves.

I layered with some dark brown paper and punched some dots out of the same paper to create my embellishments.
