"A Relaxing Gorjuss Birthday"

This is the other Gorjuss (sitting) stamp I ordered. I painted her

on Saturday when I painted the other one. So yesterday I went

out looking for a pair of trainers!!! and what did I come back

with?......these gorgeous new papers from Dovecraft!!!

Don't you think they are just lush.............................

They are called Wild Blossom! As I love gardening and anything

to do with flowers I just had to have them. After pledging that I

would buy no more crafting stuff!! (My Husband just stood there

in amazement shaking his head)!! famous last words comes to

mind!...... But your Honour I didn't buy any trainers!!!

So as she was looking lovely and pink I thought I would

sit her in this beautiful big Pink (Hibiscus I think)? flower.

I cut out the same flower and two lots of leaves from another

sheet of the same paper. The leaves are so delicate they just

twisted and lifted their own way, which I left to give it a

natura 3d effect and just stuck where they laid flat naturally.

The tiny butterflies are stamped (Stamp is Santa Rosa CA 1999,

another golden oldie) with Staz on from another paper in this

set and then cut out too. I then finished off with some lovely

irridescent stones to make it look like dew drops on the flowers

and glittered to highlight certain parts of the leaves and

flowers and also the flower in her hair. As the ABC Challenge

is G for Glitter I decided to enter her for that. The sentiment was

printed directly onto the paper, I measured the size first and

used a plain white piece to make sure it would print where

I wanted it to, the wording was done using WordArt.

Think thats everything! TFL Sue xx

The cutting out proceedure! I then used 3d foam pads.
