Sugar Bowl - Challenge 18

Alright...I got as much play time in as I could within the last few days because tomorrow school starts! Ahhhhh...where did summer go? I'm so sad to be starting classes already....but I am finally getting into my Accounting classes so at least this semester will be interesting to me (instead of all the gen. eds.)

I have so many new stamps that are waiting around and wanting to be ink'd up! I thought I would join the girls over at the Sugar Bowl....Gayle does such a lovely job running the group over there! I love to play along with the DT when I have some free time! I grabbed one of my Gorjuss Girls who was crying to get ink'd and gave her some love!

I used my MME Bloom n' Grow papers that have been sitting on my desk (also waiting for play time!!!) I love how beautiful these papers are, and thought I would make a fun, bright, summer card before fall arrives.
My Gorjuss Girl was colored with Copics and Twinkling H2o's were added to her dress and boots to add a little bit of shimmer.

Here is a view where I tried to capture the shimmer from the H20's on her beautiful dress:
A lot of the items that I used can be found at 7 Kids College Fund! Tab has an awesome array of products!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Gorjuss Girl Poppy Fields by Sugar Nellie
Inks: Momento Tuxedo Black, Copics, Twinkling H20s

Papers: Neenah Ultrasmooth; My Minds Eye Bloom n' Grow, SU cardstock
Tools: Scor-Pal (to fold my cards), Tonic Cutter, EK Success leaf punch, Sizzix Swirls,
Embellishments: flowers cut from MME paper, rhinestones, buttons and lace are from my stash

Well I best get going to bed since I have to be up early....and I'm definitely not used to being up at 5:30AM! Wish me luck tomorrow....hopefully the day goes by fast! 8 hours in school is a long day....I swear going to school is definitely harder than working a full-time job!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!
