My Gorjuss Friend

I got my Gorjuss stamps today ... and they are gorjuss!! I have inked them all up and am now working through them! I have made a friendship card for a good blogging friend ... not saying who so she gets a surprise when it drops on her mat!

I masked off the cat on the image, Purrfect friend, and watercoloured her, using just 3 colours. I decided not to matt her, and just distressed the edges. I kept the background and colour scheme simple, using just 1 dp and some cardstock. I love the ribbon - it is scroll stamped onto nylony stuff - really effective to use!

The verse is one I have had stored on my computer for ages ... I have put the 1st verse on the front and finished it inside. I distressed the edges to match the image.

A closer look at Gorjuss girl!

I hardly ever do the inside of cards ... but for this special friend I have made an exception. I used the same layout as the outside, and distressed both the verse and the space to write my message.

Well I have to fedd the children now (thery are currently screaming and shouting outside!) But I feel an early night coming on for them and lots of playing for me ... just going to take some stronger painkillers so my back copes!
