Two cards for you today, and then I'll leave you be for the weekend - promise!
First up, some oldies came out to play with the current ColourQ Challenge #324 - I do hope they'll accept the silver-grey as my silver stand-in! I loved the softness of it.
Technique Tuesday sentiment; Mama Elephant Origami stamps
Distress inks for the coloring: Peacock feathers, Pine Bough, Shabby Shutters, Squeezed Lemonade
Next up is a card for Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Ombre challenge - it has been far too long since I've played cards with Simon! When this set designed by Shari Carroll arrived, I couldn't wait to play!
I found the perfect ombre 'leftover' inks on my acrylic block:
Have a fabulous weekend, everyone! Thanks for stopping by!=] Michele xx
