Things Can Only Get Better...

...and when it comes to the new releases of Gorjuss products from The Crafthouse Press, believe me...they are going to get a whole lot better!! They really are GORJUSS!!

And with this card that I'm sharing today, I'm giving you all a sneaky peek at just one of those images within the pack, which if you attended the QVC Event you would've been lucky enough to work with!

It really would be very hard to choose my favourite from these new releases, but I do think this particular image, epitomises everything, Gorjuss. The actual image itself is a 'twisted pyramid decoupage" and I loved it so much....I wanted to make a card where, it really showcased the picture. And this is what I came up with...I hope you like it!!

Hope you all had a lazy weekend, where you could enjoy the weather and are looking forward to a fabulous week!!

Love, Emma

Flower power...

By cutting out the flowers from these gorgeous papers and lifting just part of them, it gives the card a lovely, delicate, floaty effect.  The butterflies have been hand glittered and layered to give the overall look that they are fluttering.

Love is all around....

The "heart and flowers" stamp that I used on this card is such a beautiful and delicate image to work with and even when I've embossed the stamped image with gold embossing powder, none of the very fine detail has been lost. Also, what I personally love about crafting with stamps, is that by using different inks, different colours, different embossing powders, you never get the same look.  The slightest change will make the end result completely different.

On this card, after stamping and embossing the image onto cream cardstock, I then cut it out and using foam pads for dimension, layered it on some K and Company papers.  I used glossy accents to highlight some of the flowers together with small, gold gem stones and then finally, as a finishing touch I added a ribbon and small bell charm. Hope you like it....
