behind closed doors..dragons dream Dt piece

well this is a scheduled post for my dt make for dragons dream tag it on challenge
... the challenge this fortnight is behind closed doors..
and the ingredients are :
a lock,
a door,
 a key..
the only other thing you need to remember is make a tag and use at least one real stamp..
so here is mine :
 
 
I embossed the background using a Tim embossing folder
and the heat embossed with a mixture of distress embossing powders
 
I repeated heat embossing with a mixture of distress embossing powders of the cogs.
 
 
 
I cut out the  two heart shapes, inked
and stamped with mini cogs stamp from paperartsy
 
then cut a door in the front one and added onto second heart
and filled gap inside with glossy accents
 
 
the lock and key are charms
oh and some rusty wire
 
and stamped sentiment to complete..
 
hope you will have time to pop across here
and see the fab Dt entries and maybe play along!
