Tim's November Tag

Hope you all are doing well. I have not been blogging as often or in my craft room with my hubby having time off, but did get in a little time for Tim's November tag.
For the most part, I followed the technique guidelines with a few changes. Not having the new die or embossing folder, I cut three mover and shaper leaves in the corrugated cardboard and shaded a little around the leaves in black for definition.
I did use one of Tim's stamps for veining and thought that worked pretty well. The key was inked over slightly with Black Stazon, stained my tie and mounted all on black.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I will be catching up really soon. My hubby is doing much better and will be back to work next week for a few days and then Thanksgiving here, so a long weekend will be so great! WooHoo!

Nice job with improvising! Good to hear your husband is letting you fit 'some' crafting time in LOL mine has been pretty good about it recently too.
Enjoy the "thanksgiving" long weekend.

That's a wonderful take on Tim's tag. Great texture and details.
I'm catching up with my favorite blog friends as I haven't been around for weeks. Really sorry about this and hope that there will be more time next year.
