Wickedly Gorjuss!

If you remember my post here you will no doubt wonder what I was up to and more to the point why haven't I shown anything by now!!

It has been brewing for a while and when I got my super fast delivery from Funky Kits of a Gorjuss Girl and Nellie I started to play.

Now...................if you have come to this post to see my card via the Sugar Bowl Challenge 8 can you do me a favour and read this post first?....................................I ask this because I don't want to shock you..........really I don't.

This is the first card I have done for this challenge so fingers crossed:)

Here goes

O.K. Then that's alright!

So here is my Wickedly Gorjuss creation!

Erm.........................yes she is sitting on a coffin!! Oh dear............... I hope I won't be tipped out of the Sugar Bowl at the first attempt!! LOL.

I used a mixture of DI's, Adirondack dye ink and acrylics, mainly because I don't have all the colours I wanted in one type!!............Then I tried my hand at making some flowers out of the papers (HOTP Vintage pad) and I have to say life is too short to cut out all those layers!!!.......The background layer was from a K&Co Scrap Pad To Go, Maison.

I really liked using the sketch and will definately use it again in the future, thanks for the inspiration.
