Hi everyone, hope you're off to a good start with the weekend, we have a bit of sun here so I'm happy! A card today for BasicGrey Challenges where this time it's the lucky draw challenge and the theme picked is embossing which can be dry or heat embossing or both and the project must contain at least one BG product. I've chosen dry embossing for my card and I've embossed the BG Boxer background paper with a CB Argyle folder, I also embossed a panel of the Kraft card. The image is a Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie water coloured with distress inks and I've added some stickles here and there and sponged the edges of the image with peeled paint distress ink. The BG paper is edged distressed with scissors and I've added some doodling with a white gel pen. It's all finished off with a pretty flower that I got from the Craft Barn, gems, punched leaves and a rust coloured satin bow. I hope you can join us this time and there's some wonderful inspiration from my DT friends to start it off. Enjoy your Saturday, Chris x

Do you know Chris, I don't think I've touched my BG Boxer papers..... I find them so hard to work with for some reason but you might just have given me the inspiration that I need! Your card is just perfect and the bow looks amazing! As you know I so admire your colouring and you haven't let us down with this beauty, I love how you've shadowed her!
Have a fabby weekend, hugs Tara xx

Hi! This is the first time I'be visited, and I have to tell you what a lovely blog you have. I absolutely LOVE the way you've coloured this little gorjuss girl, WOW, and the shadowing on her is so different! She looks just fab in her green hat and coat and that little fox to keep her company! Fabulous card!

Beautiful card, the image is so beautifully coloured. Anesha
This card is completely drool-worthy, I just lveo the rich saturation of green, don't think I can resist those Gorjuss girls much longer, not after seeing works like this!!That big, lush bow is the perfect compliment, just the right touch, and I love the background for the image, how neat!! Yep, love this!!!
I am glad you've seen my little mini cancans, I agree with what you've said and my story is the same, started with HM, followed very closely by PB, and then, well, the adventure has taken me all over the place since then. I wouldn't give away MY stamps, these puppies are extras that I bought for candy giveaways :) And Uplifting Occasion is just about the best stamp ever, I agree!! Sorry about the short story on your blog. Good luck with the cancan and have a fab day!!

This is just gorgeous Chris, your colouring is stunning and I love way the BG paper looks with the embossing.
