friday things

It's been a busy week.
I am more tired back at work
than I thought I would be.
Have done no crafting all week till today.


This card is for a friends Birthday next week.
and is my entry in the Magnolia V's Stampavie
colour challenge.
They are looking for cocoa, sage, white and pink.
The green layering is not quite sage
but the leaves on the Elf are.

The masking effect was following a "How to...."
By Natalie on NG Cards.
Thank you Babes!

The leather effect cord on the tag
was from a tag on a bag of loose tea leaves !

I have layered up the made by stamp
that I got from the Lovely Sammi,
and used it on the back of all my cards.

This next card is also for a friends Birthday,
several of my friends have Birthdays this month.
It is being entered in Cute Card Thursday
who are looking for Metal items on your card.

It has sliver shimmery coloured card
in two pieces of layering.
A metal hanging embellishment.
And two cat themed metal brads,
& three pink metal brads on the cat's square.

It's my take on Janina's sketch at JCBC.
It has a bow on the sketch but
I wanted to use this hanging embellishment.

And lastly is a card for my Dad.
It's not his birthday till next month,
but I used a sketch from Sketch & Stash. #3
The stash is my Sugar Nellie stamp ~ Macbeth
and the new thing I used were distressing inks.
This is my first time using them to colour.
I need to practice a bit more with them.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.
love Tina xx
