My Gorjuss sister-in-law!

It's my sister-in-law's birthday tomorrow... shhhhh, don't tell anyone but it's the big 40!

I decided to make another Gorjuss girl card and got heavy with the Distress inks to create the layered background. Lot's of lovely Hero Arts stamps and a sentiment stamp by Crescendoh too. I had so much fun with this one!
Here's my SIL with my sweet niece earlier this year. Don't you think that Gorjuss girl image is just perfect for her?

Happy crafting everyone!

Hi there Jo, gorgeous is the word, both of them and your background is multi layered and wonderful! I love the sentiment it's beautiful and very useful:)
Thanks for dropping by my place, don't worry I have coffee cups/mugs strewn all over the place strangely none in view, I tidied;)
My colour wheel is so important, I stroke it from time to time! I think in colour I hear in colour talk about sounds in terms of colour, dark brown voice, purple rage red hot mamma, get my drift. I know slightly wacky :0)

AWESOME card that does indeed nearly rival the combined "GORJUSS"ness of said s-i-l & niece!!! (HA! 40?! that's NOTHIN' missus...she's a baby!!!) having said that, i am very slightly disappointed to find out that amazing and astoundingly beautiful green "patterned paper" is not commercially available...as soon as i saw it i was poised to order MANY SHEETS!!! ♥♥♥
