My card base is cut using my Silhouette Portrait machine. I also used the machine's Print and Cut feature to print out my butterfly image and cut it out with the small border you see around it.

I added a bunch of punched foliage and some flowers, along with a few brads and pearls.

Here is the photo to use for your inspiration, too! We'd love for you to play along with us!

Now that you've seen how this pic inspired me, let's see what it did to inspire you! Be sure to head over to Catch the Bug to add your creation to the Mr. Linky to play along with our challenge. :0)

A New Challenge at Catch the Bug this week - It's B-I-N-G-O Time!!

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! This week would typically be in the Catch the Bug rotation of challenges as a sketch challenge; however, the DT has decided to change things up a bit! Now we are hosting a monthly B-I-N-G-O Card Challenge, and this is our first! No worries, folks......we're still having sketch challenges! You can now find our sketch challenges every-other Sunday for our Stella Says Sketch Challenges! Cool, huh?! A new challenge type, plus we're keeping a fave around for you, too! Woohoo!

Bingo Card:

Isn't this BINGO Card the coolest?! Our very own Ms. Min (Asst. DT Coordinator) put this together! You will definitely know it's a

Bugaboo BINGO when you see it, I think! :0)

I chose to use the middle horizontal row of requirements for my card this week (Starts with "E", Ribbon, Die-Cut). I did some embossing for the "E" item. :0) My sentiment is a die-cut, as is the card base, itself. The ribbon.........well, there's an obvious! lol!

My card features one of my favorite Bugaboo Stamps character, the little Sunbonnet girl!

This is an older image called Strawberry Sunbonnet - Jam. Her, and the other great Sunbonnet images, are available in the Bugaboo Stamps Store!

This is the new Cherry on Top image by ARTish, and he is a darling!

My card base and the two layers to fit it are your free svg today - it doesn't include my frame, swirls and flowers because those are all made from dies.

My finished card, above, fits into a 5x7 envelope.

I jazzed up this cute little mousie with some gel pens, Primas, die cuts and Stickles.

I hope you like him! :0)
