Gorjuss, Games and Giveaways

Hello.  Welcome.  I am content.  The day started sunny and I decided to do nothing.  I sat in the sun with my friend drinking coffee.  Blissful.  Then it got cloudy!  OK, maybe I'll get those seeds planted and then I can get crafty.  So I did. 


Now I realise I am having a bit of a Gorjuss period, but I got a great deal just before christmas and have discovered they are so much fun.  This is the first outing for The White Rabbit (NBUS).  Incidently there are no rabbits with this set.  Pity.  I've used the Repeat Impression colours of pink, teal and brown.  



My girl is stamped on Prima Something Blue paper, fussy cut, then coloured with distress watercolours (face, hands, trousers) and promarkers (coat and hair).  I used a gold pilot marker for the chain, clock and hearts.  I stamped Fiskars Continuous Flowers (NBUS) and Rubber Dance sentiment in Archival Potting Soil.   

I have 2 Fiskar Continuous Stamps, Flowers and Dots, to giveaway.  These are designed to be used with the Fiskars continuous stamping gadget but I just slap them on an acrylic block.  If you are interested leave me a comment including the name of your favourite flower.  I will draw a winner 1st April.  Any other comments you leave on my other posts between now and the draw will give you an extra entry, but you must leave a comment including a flower name on this post to be eligible.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

I have only one Gorjuss girl and pondering the new smaller ones coming out from Docrafts. When in the mood to colour, they are great images. Your design is fun as well as CAS!
