I made this card for a friend of mine. She is always there for me,and  I wanted her to know that I am there for her. I water colored the castle and added water for the moat. I cut it out and put it on an old map. I added banners to go with the flags on the castle. I decided to stick with the key theme for the week. I think this key might open up the dungeon door if needed.

This song is just gorgeous. I especially love this version. I was listening to it to get me inspired to make this card.

    I often think about using banners and then don't do it. I love how you did in this card. It's very fitting for the era of this stamp set. Well done!
