Gorjuss - The White Rabbit And An Inspiration Card For The Ribbon Girl

Hello, lovely blogger friend's.
I hope you are well.
I'm here to share a card that I have made using lots of gorgeous products from 
The Ribbon Girl online store.

I have used Santoro Gorjuss The White Rabbit (Mini stamp)
The image is stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink onto Bristol Board extra smooth cardstock and cut out using a Joy Crafts Noor! oval.
I have coloured the image with Prismacolor & Polychromos pencils.

For my shaped card I have used GoKreate large frame frilly #5 and Maja Design Vintage Baby papers from LLC.

Other dies used are Cheery Lynn English tea party doily and French pastry doily. Spellbinders D Lites Victorian fan. la La La hot air balloon and heart doily border.Marianne Design clock.

I have inked all the die cuts with Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink.

Here is a list of the gorgeous products that I have used on my card.

Just click on the links below to take you directly to the products;

55mm 'Monique' White Guipure Lace, FB Trim 10mm Square Ivory Pearl, Pink Check Lacey Edge Ribbon, Chrysanth White Kort & Godt, Ivory White Magnolia Flowers, Blue 30mm Wild Roses, 1mm Pearlised Stamens Pk Of 144, Butterfly Large Silver Colour Charrm, 5mm Pink Pearls Self Adhesive, 3mm White Pearl Bead String, 3mm White s/a Pearl Flatbacks & Wooden Heart Buttons

Here is a couple of close up pics of the flower arrangements, hand tied bow and pretty butterfly charm.

I painted the butterfly charm with white Gesso and when dry I rubbed over it with a pink ink pad.

The pocket watch charm is from my crafty stash.

Here is a closer look at this gorgeous little lady. I loved colouring her hair which was a challenge as I have never coloured hair using black before. I am very pleased with the result.

I sprinkled shabby white embossing enamel around the image and used glossy accents on the face of the pocket watch. Either side of the image I have adhered 3mm white s/a pearl flatbacks and I used a white gelly roll pen to dot the little lady's cheeks.

Inside the card is decorated with design paper and a Spellbinders opulent oval.

I hope you like my card?

That's it from me for today. I am currently working on a 60th Wedding Anniversary card. A commissioned card for one of my husbands work colleagues.

I will share it with you all next week.

Thanks for stopping by to visit today and huge thanks for all the lovely comments that you kindly take the time to leave me. I love reading every single one.
