Sugar Nellie - Gorjuss Week

- Hello Sugar Fans -

 

Good morning everyone! 

As you may know the Design Team now have themed weeks, and this week is 'Gorjuss'.

So for my Wednesday card I'm using this pretty little girl minus her pigeons.  I used the larger version of the stamp for my card, which is called 'On Top Of The World'; there is also a mini version here available.  Both stamps sets and lots of other Gorjussness can be bought from Funkykits. 

Now if you read my previous post you will know I had a issue with colouring an image first and then trying to find card and papers to match, which was a nightmare. Soooo guess what? Yep, I did it again lol.  Erm, in my defence I did already have her coloured up...in fact I coloured her last year but I totally forgot which papers I'd chosen to go with her. So again, I spent forever trying to find pretty papers that would compliment her. Will I never learn!! Lol...probably not ? :)

Anyhoo, I coloured her with distressing inks onto watercolour card, and cut her out using my new favourite toy....my Brother Scan 'n' Cut. I used a simple background so she would 'pop' of the page, and then accented the papers with black.  Hope you like it :)

  

 

Here's What I Did
Firstly I matted the scalloped card base with pretty patterned paper, which I'd edged with distressing ink. The image was stamped directly onto watercolour card and coloured with distressing inks. The finished image was then cut out using a Scan 'n' Cut machine (no border).

Next I cut to size a piece of patterned paper and black card which I die cut it using a curved die, edged it with distressing ink and attached it to the card base. I stamped a sentiment in the top left corner and attached the Gorjuss girl using foam tape to add dimension.

To finish off I added glitter to the sentiment and a few black gems.
