Minkie's Paper Paradise: It's been just gorjuss!

Hello peeps! What a scorcher it's been again today, shame I've been at work all day :( Oh well, I'm off this weekend so looking forward to that! I've made a little card inspired by all the sun we've been having lately...

I've used a little 'Gorjuss Girl' from Sugar Nellie... it's ages since I've coloured one of these little ladies. I've coloured her with Promarkers then cut her out and mounted her onto a frame cut using Nestabilities, the (green) papers are from The Creative Cottage 'Bella Ballerina' digi kit, border is cut using a Marth Stewart Doily Lace punch. I also used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, added ribbon, pearls and a flower to finish!

I made this card with the following challenges in mind...Totally Gorjuss would like you to use a Gorjuss Girl on your card, Lili of the Valley have a 'Here Comes Summer' theme (I think these colours and flower are really summery) and finally A Spoon Full of Sugar want to see some 3D!

Well that's all for tonight, time is getting on so off to beddy byes for me! I hope to get a bit blog hopping done this weekend, thanks for all your lovely comments of late... much appreciated!!!
