Let’s get Started:

Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25

Card Face: 5.5 x 4.25

Card Face:

I put the card face into the stamp positioner and created the image using Memento black ink.
I coloured the image with alcohol markers.
I placed the card face on the grip mat and positioned the stencil. I used light aqua ink over the exposed areas, bringing the ink up to the coloured image without allowing an overlap.
I placed the card face back in the stamp positioner and added the sentiment.

Other:

I found the frame in my Ready To Go binder, previously die-cut and waiting for a chance to shine.

Assembly

I glued the card face to the card base, and added the frame to the borders of the card face.

Final Thoughts:

The Gorjuss girls are …. well, gorgeous! I recently purchased several, and was delighted to ink one up.
