Gorjuss Girl


I just love how this has turned out! I haven't been crafting for a while, I think I've lost my creative motivation but forced myself to get something made last night and I'm glad I did. I left it on the kitchen table overnight to dry and when I came in this morning for breakfast and seen it, it made me smile! The image is of course one of the beautiful Gorjuss Girls, the only one I own at present, ahem!! The card is from stash, blue and cream, I distressed the edges with some Tim Holtz, Tattered Rose. The border is cut using my treasured doilie edge punch from Martha Stewart, I embellished this with some Stickles glue. The little pearls came from my daughters corsage which was presented to her by her date for her school formal last week, nothing goes to waste in this house!!! I wrapped it in a little blue ribbon from Laura Ashley and mounted it up a little Laura Ashley floral chipboard square. I coloured the image using my Faber Castell pencils and added a little more Stickles glue for detail. The rubon is from Crate and the little floral stamp is from Hampton Art. I feel excited about this card, think it has kick started some creative thoughts and feelings. :)
