Just Gorjuss! - Day 13 - I'm Falling For You

Hi All,

Welcome to the penultimate day of the Gorjuss launch of my new blog!   Today's card features the sweet "I'm Falling For You".

First I took a blue/grey card blank from the Gorjuss range and added a couple of inches of the taupe paper along the left hand side. 

I next punched the gothic border from black cardstock and stuck this along the join between the card blank and the paper.  Along this I then stuck a strip of hearts (a little die-cut extra from the range).

I then layered up the decoupage image using foam pads and stuck this to the card using more foam pads.  I then arranged some paper flowers, leaves and black twine from my stash to the bottom right of the image.  The purple flowers I had were too bright for this card, so I coloured them in with a black water-based pen and then added a few drops of water into the middle and left them to dry on some kitchen paper.  This made the colour of the flowers darker and more muted to match the card, and gave the flower an ombre finish too.

I then stamped a greeting onto a die-cut greeting plaque that comes with the range and stuck this so it overlapped the heart strip.  And lastly, I finished with some light blue pearls.
