I dug out one of my older Gorjuss stamps for this one and coloured her with Promarkers to match these Papermania Gorjuss papers from last year, I love the rich colour tones, and I enjoyed using a colour combo I don't very often use. I used a Spellbinders Curved Rectangle die to cut out the topper and dusted on a hint of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink round the edges, concentrating the colour at the top.
The rest of the dies used are all Marianne, I inked the die cuts with Evergreen Bough and Pumice Stone Distress Inks for definition of the embossing, and I coloured the branch brown with a Distress Marker. I stamped a sentiment using a stamp from an Imagination Crafts set, used a circle punch to punch it out, then inked the edges with more Pumice Stone ink. A Gorjuss stripy button is the final touch.
