Key to My Heart

This page brings the old saying "the key to my heart" to life with an ornate heart-shaped padlock hanging beside a fancy, old-fashioned key whose handle is also a heart, the two joined by a thin ribbon. Small swirls and decorative details cover both the lock and the key, so this one rewards patient colorers who enjoy filling in finer patterns. The metallic feel of a key and lock is fun to play with: gold, silver, or bronze shades make them look real, while the ribbon between them is a chance to add a soft, contrasting color. The phrase itself is a sweet, romantic idea that you can talk about while coloring. Try shading along the edges of the swirls to give the metal a shiny, three-dimensional look. Print it on US Letter or A4 and unlock all the color you can.
