Gorjuss - Waiting

So today I decided to use another of my new Gorjuss sets. Slowly working my way through them! I have a load of wooden 10x10 blocks to decorate and I used one for this project. It could be a coaster or maybe a little wall plaque.

First I mod podged the block and then used a paper pad from Craft Asylum to decorate it. The stamps are from the Gorjuss set - Waiting. She has been coloured with Copics and Shin Hans and then paper pieced. The sentiment is from Sam Poole which I chopped into single words. I then added a couple of layers of the mod podge over the top. 

I would like to enter this into the Sketch Saturday Challenge as I used the sketch to help me design this.

Sketch Saturday & Little Claire

Today's card is for the Sketch Saturday challenge 

                                                          

Here is my card

I have used one of my fav stamp sets from Little Claire Designs called Rainy Days. I've coloured and paper pieced the images using the same papers and Chameleon pens. I've also added glossy accents to the boots on the border and the puddles. The papers are by My Minds Eye and are called Lost and Found - Heirloom. I've distressed them and edged them all with fired brick distress ink.

Hair and skin are coloured with Shin Hans and the rest with Spectrum Noirs. The papers are from MME - Lost and Found - Ruby. The tree has been cut with my Cammie. The decorative border is a punch by Martha Stewart. And finally the sentiment has been made with a label maker.

Totally Gorjuss & Sketch Saturday Challenges

Its been a rubbish rainy day here again so I thought I'd try a challenge card. I found two that I'd like to have a go at Sketch Saturday and Totally Gorjuss Challenges.

For the Sketch Saturday challenge you could use any sketch so I used this sketch from way back in October.

The theme for Totally Gorjuss is "Stitching". So I think I've fit the bill with this card.

Gorjuss stamp - Toadstools ( I have my bestie Tracy to thank for this , she bought it as a surprise for me for my birthday). I had to mostly paper piece the image , my hands didn't want to play today so I could only manage to colour the hair and skin.

Paper pad - Hobbycraft Autumn Collection  This is a really lovely paper pad I didn't expect it to be all that as it was quite cheap and it being a Hobbycraft own brand but I was pleasantly surprised.

Sentiment was computer generated. the heart borders are by Martha Stewart and are a punch.
