Simply Gorjuss

Hi Crafters,
Today was my youngest daughter's 21st Birthday. Where has the time gone? We all had a lovely meal out this evening and are now relaxing back at home.
Here is the card I made for her using her favourite colours - Teal and purple.
The new Gorjuss stamps and papers seemed to fit really well with this colour scheme so I coloured this lovely image up to match the theme.

I used lots of techniques on her card, the chequered background was made using an Inky Doodles  mask, firstly I distress inked some white card with Peacock Feathers and Dusty Concord, then placed the mask over it and inked through it with Pine Needles DI. I later used Versamark ink to highlight the pattern and clear embossed it. The scalloped border is a Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page punch and the die cut numbers are an MFT die. I stamped and black embossed the frame, cut out the centre and used some of the rich papers in the new kit to fill the frame - I also stamped one of the grassy border stamps around the oval for some detail. The girl and her pets are from different stamp sets but I stamped and cut them out after colouring and raised them on foam dots. The heart ribbon also comes in the range and the heart journal piece is also a stamp that I coloured to match the muted tones of the collection. The flowers I have had in my stash for a while but I sprayed the large one with Cosmic Shimmer Mists in 'Purple Violet' and 'Plum Twist' to achieve the right colour.

I'm entering this in to the following challenges:

I hope you enjoy the rest of the evening and see you soon,
