Sitting on top of the world

Hello lovely peeps


I've stamped up one of the Gorjuss Girls - On Top Of The World - and coloured her with Graph'It markers
Skin: 4115, 4155, 4180
Hair: 3255, 3280, 3190
Apron:  5140, 9504
Dress: 9500, 9501
Tights:  9503, 9505, 9507

I've made a brick wall for her to sit on from a stripy paper (Docrafts Gorjuss)


I drew in vertical lines with a marker (9503) and then went around the edges with 'Hickory Smoke' Distress Ink. 


To distress it a bit more I scuffed it up with sandpaper before glueing it onto my card (the paper on top is from an old My Minds Eye collection)


I cut some flowers from white linen card using a Tattered Florals strip die and then inked the edges with 'Shabby Shutters' and 'Scattered Straw' Distress Inks. The card was a bit stiff  so to make them easier to shape I spritzed them first with water. 

To make the little dangly heart I die-cut a small heart from white shrink plastic using an X-cut die. I then drew a line around the edge and filled it in with some stripes (using a black fineliner pen). I punched a hole in the top before shrinking it with my heat gun. I've hung it from a branch (Memory Box Woodland Branch) with silver thread.

      Thank you Lea for all your lovely comments. I prefer Katrina but Kat is fine. I chose Kat for my blog address a) because it sounds punchier and b) my logo includes a cat.
      Hugs,
      Katrina xx
