I can't believe it's almost two weeks since I last posted and I'm still catching up with visits too.
First I'd like to give a warm welcome to my new follower Sharon at craftyhugs blog. I hope you'll have time for a visit.
My card today is for our friend's birthday next week. I gave it to him today when we met up with Ken and others for our weekly pub lunch.
I stencilled the matt with colours to match my snippet of Stampin Up paper which I used for the waistcoat. The stamps are a Woodware set.
After stamping I fussy cut the waistcoat and coloured the buttons with a silver gel pen. Finally I coloured parts of the waistcoat with a dark grey Promarker then added some Wink of Stella over the grey.
As I used a snippet of white card for the matt and a piece of SU paper I'm entering my card over at
