The key is...


Hello bloggers,

As some of you may know, I have been running a boutique forum since 2016 wherein I conduct guided meditation and offer personal development to stay at home mums. I have been conducting similar sessions for parents in my kid's school. However, due to the COVid-19 virus, we have had to stall the programme. I am hoping that everything gets back to normal sooner than expected and I can resume doing what I love. As some of you may know, the proceeds from the fees go towards a shelter that houses abused women. I was lucky enough to raise a decent sum by hosting 11 such sessions. 


Now to my card - I have had this typewriter die for years now and finally got hold of some packaging material and die cut it. I used black soot to sponge it. 

The key has been die cut from a matt gold thick cinema ticket while the red paper you see under the sentiment is from canvas packaging which we painted red as we had surplus red paint.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp which is lying in a drawer while I write this post on my dining table. 
The white rectangular nestie with holes on the edges is my new buy from Sizzix. 


I will enter in the following challenges with this card:

Happy card making,

Great die and love the key. This is lovely, Monica. Sorry to hear there is disruption in your series of classes. I so wish you lived here and I could take your classes! I heard that it can actually stop your brain from aging. That is super cool Many hugz

A lovely card and a great sentiment. I like how you have used the gold key to connect with the sentiment.
