Gorjuss Girl decoupage

Hello everyone... Another busy day today - it's nice having hubby and the kids off, but it's hard to fit everything in!  I managed a few hours in the craft room this morning, then we've been to the park so the boys could try out their new scooters, and then we gave in and let them shovel coins into the arcade games at Hollywood Bowl... I'm hoping for a whole day in the craft room tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Here's a card using some of the fab decoupage and papers from the new Gorjuss Girl range from Docrafts.


Items Used
Image & label (for sentiment) - Gorjuss Girl Ultimate Decoupage pack from Docrafts

I'm entering my card for the 'anything goes' challenge on the Docrafts blog.

Lots of DT commenting to catch up on now so I'd better get that done... Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Colouring - copics & prisma pencils
Papers - Prima Bohemian Bamboo - MCH
La La Land Heart Banner die
Flower - Prima Divine Daisies - MCH
