A Few Gorjuss Girl Notecards

I've been a trolling through the stash lately and finding half completed projects and I decided I just had to finish off the cards for these projects because.... incomplete paper projects are only worth the paper they are printed on.  Today, I'm sharing a few cards featuring Gorjuss Girl stamped lovely ladies.  This first is my favorite - so charming and striking.  I love how the polka dots pair with the patterns in the rest of this card.

I really tried to make this second card light and pale and breezy like the image.  I originally painted with masking fluid and it ruined the background around her hair.  You can still kinda see the flaw, but I think I tried to hide it nicely with the sentiment and the sequins... maybe not so much, but I'm hoping everyone is feeling the mellow of this image when they look at the card!

This last creation is also an attempt at pale coloring.  I think I didn't add enough contrast to the card and the photography is majorly lacking so the two in combo don't exactly add up to the best result.  Still, it isn't awful and I'll use it to send a sweet note.  It feels good to get some of these projects finished and proud of how at least two of them turned out.
 

Maymay's March Motivation ATC Non-Swap

Today I'm stopping in to share my first of two sets of ATC cards for Maymay Made It's March Motivation ATC Non-swap.  I had picked up some Gorjuss Girl stamps - the mini size girls - a while ago.  i thought that the ATC non-swap would be a perfect use of these stamps - creating a portrait style ATC.  I colored each image with my Polychromos pencils, keeping the design simple by using some gorgeous patterned papers from the Moda Fly and Scrap 6 x 6 paper pack. 

I had such fun coloring these images - using the patterned paper to inspire the colors.  I felt a small twinge when I had to cut down the images, but in the end, I'm so very pleased with how these turned out. 

Of course, I'm most pleased with the quality of the finished product.  I'm so glad Brandy decided to join the fun and shared the idea with me.  I'll be back tomorrow with Brandy's second set of ATC cards.
