Despite some internet issues I'm back with Day 4, and another Gorjuss card!
I adore this image. Sadly we all go through loss or heartbreak at some point in our lives and this seems to capture that emotion perfectly. The image is sombre, but also quite sweet, which is why i thought it would make a perfect "thinking of you" card.
Even though I've done quite a lot of research to find out I don't know the name of this image, so for now I'm calling it "Balloon Hearts" (no doubt the real name is somewhat more deep and meaningful, but I'll go with a descriptive name for now). If anyone knows the title of this artwork, please do let me know in the comments!
For this card I covered the bottom half of one of the light blue card blanks from the range in a darker blue damask paper. I used a strip of cream damask paper across the middle and over that I placed the stripey ribbon from the collection. I stamped a greeting onto another piece of the same cream paper.
I layered up the decoupage using foam pads and fixed that and the greeting onto the left of the card with foam tape.
For the metal heart embellishment, I arranged a selection of gems and pearls in coordinating colours and of varying sizes into the centre of the heart on the metal charm. Once happy with the arrangement I fixed them in place with glue. I filled in the rest of the heart with clear gloss and left it to dry overnight. I then stuck a bow from the collection onto the right side on the card and covered the knot with the metal charm. Finally, I finished with a few more pearls and the some of the die-cut little extras which come with the decoupage.
