Sugar Nellie - Gorjuss Girl

Good morning sugar fans! 

Wow, I can't believe it, another Wednesday is here. Sadly I've lost a week due to a bout of flu, followed by a cold, then a poorly stomach and finally a cold sore with swollen glands. Yep, I've officially been in the wars. Basically I've not been outside for over a week, spending most of it in bed or laying on my sofa. Although I do have health conditions I'm not normally ill with anything (if you know what I mean), and I always get my flu jab - so where the heck this came from I really don't know. I just wish it would clear off now ;p

Anyhow onto something more cheerful, it's time to share my Sugar Nellie Design Team card with you today. I thought I would use another Gorjuss girl stamp, and this one is called 'You Brought Me Love', and again I used one of my fav colour combos - green and lilac.  Funkykits (the home of Sugar Nellie) have a great collection of both new and old Gorjuss Girl stamps.

Remember we still have a few days left of our 'Gorjuss Party Launch' competition on the Sugar Nellie blog - to enter you must include a Gorjuss stamp (new or old) on your card or project and enter it at the linky on the blog page.

 

Here's What I Did

I started with a white shaped card base which I matted with LOTV patterned paper edged with distressing ink. I stamped the Gorjuss girl onto watercolour card (I masked of the little squirrel and leaves), then using distressing inks and watercolouring pencils (from WH Smiths) I coloured both her and the background in, this was then die cut it into an oval. I die cut another oval in lilac card and one white fancy edged oval in white card. All the ovals were then attached to my finished Gorjuss topper and added to my card base. To finish off I added some die cut flowers and a few punched out butterflies.
