ANYTHING GOES w/Optional Twist: KEY IT SIMPLE

Time for another great challenge over at a Place to Start this week. As always the challenge is anything goes and this weeks optional twist  is Key it Simple. Just use a key and lock or just a key in your project. 

I decided to make a farewell card for a friend that is moving away and starting a new adventure in their lives.

I drew my house shape and played with my dimensions.  Then I layered the house shape first with the green craft paper then drew another layer to add to the front of the house.

  I used a piece of my Mixed Media scrap of paper from my stash  for the front of the house then added the door and windows.  The sentiment is computer generated..  I inked the edges with distress inks, added my key, some doodling and stamped the chimney with a brick pattern stamp.
