It's Thursday ...

 and that means its nearly the weekend!!  It seems to have been a long week this week, and my mojo has gone walk about big time!

I have a real dislike, closer to a hate than dislike to be honest, of the colour pink.  Having 2 girls I wage a constant battle against pink - clothes, shoes, toys, bedroom(that was definitely refused!!) and then people 'help' by asking for cards with pink on them!!!  My Mum (love her to bits, but please WHY pink???!!!!) asked me to make a card for a farmer's wife in the village, just for her to pop a note in ... Custard instantly popped into my mind - what better image for a cheep farmer's wife???!!  She is coloured in pink, lilac, laendar and blue grey promarkers and flexmarkers.  The cardstock has been embossed using some of my embossing folders, the swirl is a Whimsey die and the flowers from Duckpond ... love Karen's flower packs. I added some purple gingham and some stickles to finish ... Custard's pink spots have had rock candy stickles applied just to make them sparkle, which they don't on the photo - typical!  I added a heart button off a top that Beth has grown out of to the centre of the flowers.

And something more to my liking!!  I made a tag out of kraft cardstock and stamped the Hero Arts notebook stamp on.  It was then distressed using fired brick, aged mahogany and walnut stain distress inks.  The envelope and tag inside (created using a Memory box tag and stamp) were also treated to the same distressing. I spritzed the tag with Tattered Angels gold glimmer mist and heat dried it.  I stamped the envelope with BoBunny stamps, and added a heart and sentiment. The hearts and sentiment are from TH Hearfelt set and I added an adage ticket on a pin to finish.  The seam binding was stained using fired brick and aged mahogany inks.
