Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 138 - Sweet & Simple

Good Day to You All

I hope you have all had a good week and you are looking forward to the weekend.


Our challenge this week over at Totally Gorjuss is "Sweet & Simple" and our fabby sponsor this week is the one and only Lili of the Valley.  So to be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in their shop we want to see all your Sweet & Simple designs.  As always, make sure you check out what the incredible DT ladies have made for your inspiration over at the Totally Gorjuss site.

Here is the card that I have made:


Ain't she "Sweet"?

The recipe for the card is:

Digi Stamp:  Tiddly Inks Wryn Blooms
Sentiment:  Created on my computer and printed under the picture

Image coloured with Copics:

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30
Hair:  E37 E35 E34 E33
Dress & Shoes:  BV04 BV02 BV01 / R85 R83 R81
Flowers:  BV04 BV02 BV01 / R85 R83 R81 / C2 C1
Leaves:  G46 G43
Shading:  W5 W3 W1 W0

And that's it - "Simple"!  "Sweet and Simple."  To finish off the card I have stitched around it with my sewing machine.

One other picture of the inside for you:


And there you have it.

I hope you can join in the fun with us.

Stay safe and have a great weekend.

I found your blog today - I don't know how i could ever have missed it, it is amazing your colouring is fabulous and I just love how you always list the copics you have used that is soooo helpful for us amateurs, I have just spent the last 2 hours looking through your old posts and enjoyed drooling over your wonderful cards so much, I have never used digi papers but after seeing some of your makes I have decided to go shopping at the basic grey digi shop! I also fell in love with your bigshot pro – I haven’t seen that before and my bigshot is my favourite crafty tool so I can see a pro being put on my ever growing wish list. I just wanted to say I know how much effort and time it takes to keep a blog up to date, and to include all the details like you do must take up lots of your crafting time much it is very very much appreciated and I will be making lists of some of your colour combinations to use to improve my colouring Keep up all the hard work I will be a regular stalker now and look forward to seeing your future creations Thank you for the inspiration hugs Lou x
