Just Gorjuss! - Day 3 - Stole

Hi All,

Welcome to Day 3 of my new blog.  I'm launching my blog with a Gorjuss Extravaganza.  Hope you like!

For today's card I've used this cute and cozy image.  It's called "Stole".  It makes me think of snuggling up to my cats - both of whom are very cuddly kitties!















I started by cutting the strip die (edge only) and the oval frame (largest two dies of the set) out of champagne mirricard.  I stuck the border along the bottom of a red tweed card blank with glue, and the oval centrally above it using foam pads.  I covered the join between the border and the card bank with ribbon.

I got the curve on greeting by using a clear stamp and fixing it onto the acrylic block in a curved shape - I lined this up against the image to make sure it was right before I stamped it.

I assembled the decoupage using foam pads and fixed this to the centre of the oval with glueThe dimensional layers really make this image come to life as you can see in the photo to the right.  The decorative oval frames the image beautifully - it's a perfect fit.

I finished off the card with a bow and some black gems.  And, as with the previous cards, I've used one of the little die-cut extras to accent the envelope, as you can see below.
