Hello folks, apologies for not being around over the weekend but it was Hubby's weekend off and the good weather meant that we were able to get some outside projects done so time was in short supply for commenting, but I have visited...promise!!
Anyway,I am here to share a "whoops my hand slipped" new rubber stamp, which is actually a bit unusual in that I usually tend to steer away from stamps/images that don't have a mouth as I find them a bit creepy!! On this occasion it was the teacup that persuaded me that I needed this little Gorjuss girl in my collection and paper piecing opportunities are too good to miss so home she came.

On this occasion it was the teacup that persuaded me that I needed this little Gorjuss girl in my collection and paper piecing opportunities are too good to miss so home she came.
The base was made using Go Kreate Frilly Frames #10 to which I glued some very old papers which, I think, may have been Dovecraft Tea Party perhaps. The brad was from the same collection too. As you can see the cup and saucer is paper pieced and shade and the rest of the image was coloured by Promarkers. The border was made using a lawn fawn die and all the edges were inked with weathered wood for some definition.

This is gorgeous Sarah. I love the sweet image, I do know what you mean about images without mouths though! Fabulous paper piecing and a pretty design too.

Good morning Sarah,
ReplyDeleteLove it .... great design and colours.
I am with you on the "creepy" !!! However you have pulled it off with this one.
Have a good day

Made me smile reading your post Sarah as I too have a bit of a thing about images with no face and was once known to add them to a number of birthday cards received. But I must say this one is rather different as her eyes and lovely dark hair draw your attention rather than the lack of full facial features. And the shape and design of your card is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for joining in at Stamping Sensations and Allsorts challenges.

Sarah, a very pretty, girly card. I to find these images creepy, and I think I would tend to good and draw a mouth on, so avoid them. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah. Hope u and hubby got all your projects done. Wow your card is beautiful and I can see how this slipped into your basket lol. It's a lovely stamp. I really love the embellishment in the top left hand corner. I will have to try and make one. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shaped card Sarah and I love the soft colours. The paper piecing looks great and I love how you coloured her hair. Glad you had a productive weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs

Very Alice in Wonderland Sarah! Know what you mean about the mouthless faces, my daughter says they make her shudder!
ReplyDeleteHope you managed to get those jobs done, it's just started raining here but Al says he has to fix the gate into the railway field as it has come off the pivot. :)
She seems to be the favourite of the new Gorjuss Girls and she is in my collection, love her paper pieced. Such a pretty card x
ReplyDeleteAdorable card Sarah, love the colours and the flower which I haven't made for ages, so you have inspired once again.xx{aNNie My Personal Blog}
ReplyDeleteBack to say thanks for playing at The Sugar Bowl x
ReplyDeleteJust a delightful card The image is so pretty but I know what you mean about no mouths I have a friend who draws one on her Tilda images !! Love and hugs Carole x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were out enjoying the sunshine at the weekend; I've been AWOL for a whole week and just catching up now!
ReplyDeleteSo, I had a little peek back at all your delightful cards that I missed while I was away and then this Gorjuss little number; I can see why you fell for this cutie and her paper pieced teacup is fab :-) I love the pretty papers too!
Big hugs, Kat xx
This is beautiful Sarah, such a sweet image, I love the paper pieced cup and great card shape.

Sarah, she's really cute peeking out from the pretty teacup. I'm with you on the 'no mouth' look as well, but this one's quite alright. (my only exception is that little waif that My Favorite Things has..but I don't care for Tildas, for myself). Love what you've done with this little one, coloring is perfection. The shaped card is so pretty & very dainty scallop border to balance that sweet teacup. Good luck with the outside chores...TFS & Have a great week. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, so cute, thanks for joining us at Allsorts this week, xxx

ReplyDeleteLucy x
I'm sorry, I know you prolly already know I'm mad as a box of frogs, but I did have a big chuckle out of you saying that you don't like images of people w/o mouths (I quite agree) because you find them creepy and then you go and put her inside a teacup with the admonition to "drink me!" Talk about creepy! haha! Sarah, you know I'm just teasing you I hope. I couldn't resist now, could I? It really is the most adorable card!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteSo very very pretty! just adorable :)
