I was honored to be asked to be the Art Coordinator (aka helper for Anary, lol) for the Gilli DT and help Anary out with her fantastic new venture!  Also on board is Wini Bell as the DT Coordinator, she organizes all the gals for us thank goodness!

This is my project for the challenge!  I used "Burlesque Gilli" for my project, I think she's super sassy and so much fun!  A great gal card to send to a good friend dontcha' think?  You can find the whole line of Gilli Stamps at Stamping Scrapping HERE!   The papers are by Basic Grey called "Marjolaine"--I loved the color combo as I think they match a peacock feather perfectly!

I used the oval and scalloped oval Spellbinders Nestabilities to cut out my image and mat it.  The scrolls and feathery leaves were made with Marianne Dies sold exclusively in the UK.  The black lacy border piece was made with a MS border punch.  A few elegant black pearls finish off the card nicely.



And of course she is colored with Copics, my favorite coloring tool of choice!  I used Stardust Stickles on her peacock feather and ruffles/accents on her outfit for my sparkle.

If you would love to see more details on this card and how I colored this beautiful Gilli with Copics then head over to MY BLOG HERE for more info!

Now I hope your creative juices are flowing and you are ready to get a jump start on this
1st "House of Gilli" Challenge with us all!

hugz,
Suzanne J Dean
