Gorjuss Bear Skin

Hello there!  Did you enjoy the Young Crafters Unite Our Favorite Things Blog Hop?  I was so pleased to be able to participate (click HERE for my post), and there was such a lot of talent on the hop!

I have another Gorjuss card to share with you today.  It's not my usual style of card - it's quite embellished for me!  I was working with a few different challenges for this one (see the end of this post for details), but I have to say that I love how the colours came out in my waterccolouring!  I would never have picked these colours to go together, which is why I love challenges so much!


The stamp I've used is Simply Gorjuss - Bear Skin.  Isn't it sweet?  I love how peaceful she looks.



And here are the challenges I'm entering:

PDCC88

SSSC124

PPA100-What's Your Technique?
Mine is watercolouring.



Materials:
Stamp sets - Simply Gorjuss - Bear Skin
Cardstock - White Cambric Linen, Sage Shadow, Kaisercraft patterned paper, watercolour paper
Inks – Versamark, Blush Blossom, Peach Parfait, So Saffron, Sage Shadow, black
Accessories - Black embossing powder, heat tool, aqua painter, Webster's Pages Bloomers trim, Antique brad, Black chalk pencil


Thanks for stopping by! :-)

    You're right I wouldn't have picked those colours either but you have put them together beautifully.

    Beautiful work as always and I really love how you have used the colour combination (miss that sage shadow, just as well I stocked up before it retired!)
