Gorjuss Lady Bird Feature and Inspiration with Quick Creations :)

A while back I goofed and colored the wrong Gorjuss image, lol, so I had to scramble and color up the right one, well today you get to see the goofed Gorjuss project hahaha.  This is my November inspiration for Quick Creations and Noelle Martin.

This is Ladybird from Santoro/Docraft's Gorjuss collection.

I completed this project using Gorjuss Ruby paper, a Cheery Lynn Die, CC Designs Vine Die and a sentiment from Tim Holtz.  This Gorjuss stamp and many others are available in Noelle Martin's online shop at Quick Creations.

I love the Gorjuss stamps, they are so sweet and versatile; you can make any kind of card with them.

Come and join us over at the Quick Creations challenge blog every month for a challenge!  This month's challenge is Anything Goes!  Have fun and I hope to see you there!

Challenge time at Quick Creations :)

Noelle Martin asked me to do a piece for her challenge blog this month over at Quick Creations, and how could I say no?  She is too good to me :)

So in the spirit of fall, yes, I'm afraid it is upon us, lol.  Although it is my favorite season, I will miss the warmth of the summer sun for sure.  In the spirit of fall, the challenge theme is fall!

I have chosen Ladybird, by Santoro's Gorjuss, for this piece and colored her in fall colors :)

The colors of fall are some of my favorite, so I really enjoyed making this piece for Noelle.  I have colored her with my Copics, Prismacolor markers and Prismacolor Premiere Pencils in the following colors:

Hair:  E23
PC1082, 946, 935
Skin:  E00
PC927, 939, 1029
Dress:  PB82, YR02
PC1033, 1032, 944, 943, 945, 948
Tights:  PB82
PC1052, 945, 1032, 944
Shoes:  E23
PC1082, 946

To finish this card, I used K&Company Fall harvest paper, a Cheery Lynn die and a thanksgiving stamp from my stash.

Noelle is also having a fall/back to school sale right now, and there are lots of things discounted in the shop for this sale!

Gorjuss Feature: Ladybird

Hello everyone, I have another Gorjuss feature for Quick Creations to show you today.  I ventured a wee bit out of my comfort zone again (phew...this is happening a little too often, hehe) and painted her using Prima Water Color Pencils and a paintbrush and water.

The rubber stamp image is called Ladybird, from Santoro's Gorjuss line, and you can find her in Noelle Martin's online shop at Quick Creations.  Noelle carries many Gorjuss stamps (and I think I may have purchased almost all of them heehee).

I colored her using the following Prima Watercolor Pencil colors:

Hair:  91, 95
Skin:  05, 08, 09
Dress:  16, 44, 32
Leggings:  62
Shoes:  07, 22
Ribbons:  16

I began this project by heat embossing the image with with white Stampin' UP embossing powder and then used the pencils only in the areas that would be shaded.  This allows the color to stay inside the lines when adding water to the image.  When she was finished I created an easel card using paper from the Echo Park "Summer Bliss" 6 x 6 paper pad.

I also die cut the two different sized ovals using the CC Designs Make A Card #5 Die Set, which you can also find in Noelle's shop.

Don;t forget to check back here often, for more Gorjuss features and inspiration.  Head's Up:  on the 15th of this month, I will be showcasing a Magnolia image!  I just love Magnolia too, and can't wait to get her done :)
