Gorjuss Day!

It really is a Gorjuss Day and not just the weather. My stamps arrived this morning and I have had the afternoon having a play. I LOVE THEM!!!!! I knew in my head what I wanted to acheive with them and it has turned out better than I thought. I would just like to say that the photo does nothing for it to be honest couldn't get any better than this however it is being sent to someone so when they get it they might be able to get a better picci for you. The card was made using See D stamp (I know See Ds! I have over 101 sets of them *blush*) I used a mixture of morsels for the ferns and the tree at the top. The fairy house stamp is one I bought at the SECC in October A company called Lavina stamps. The girl who demonstrates at the shows for them oozes talent and there stamps are perfect to go with the Gorjuss girls in my opinion. I'm utterly disappointed that according to there website they will not be at the SECC in March :( I have popped my Gorjuss girl up on pinflair glue for dimension. So what do you think? Over to you!!!!





  • Stamp - Gorjuss Collection 1 by Sugar Nellie, See D morsels, Fairy House by Lavina Stamps
  • Technique - Lyra watercolour crayons
  • Ink - Papermania pigment purple, versafine black
*Edited to say remember QVC craft tomorrow DCWV, Rosemerry Merry and American Crafts Wooohoo oh yeah and Desperate Housewifes New Series starts tonight too. Me thinks there will be lots of image colouring tonight and tomorrow.

Just stunning Alison - Gorjuss in fact!! What a work of art this is. I have mine also and had a bit of a play with them last night. Not managed to get a card done yet as My Miss Anyas arrived also and I was making a DT card with them. Think I love them even more that the Gorjuss girls if that is possible.
