For my card today, I've used two of the Bugaboo Stamps images from one of the Mini Sets. The Mini Set I pulled the sentiment and flowers from is called is called Mini Set - Flower Garden. As you can see from the sketch below, I changed around placement of the image and the sentiment. I wanted the sentiment to be large, and the card statement.
I created the floral tag for the sentiment in my Silhouette software, and I did some Print and Cut technique with the sentiment and flowers. My leafy vine is a Cheery Lynn Die,
 Mini Fanciful Flourish - B117S. I added a touch of Stickles, Star Dust to the flower centers, and to the small flower on the sentiment. My border was punched with an EK Success punch.

Here's the current Stella sketch to follow. We'd love to have you play along with the challenge, and hope that this sketch provides you the inspiration you need!

For my card today, I've used the Bugaboo Stamps image from an older release of umbrellas. This one is called Fancy Umbrellas Umbrella 3. I did take a few liberties with the sketch, as you can see. I was in a flower-making mood! :) Hindsight is 20/20 they say.....I wish I had moved the corner flourishes in closer to the image, but.....what can you do?! Once that glue went down for the first corner piece, there was no turning back! lol!

I used a tiny flower punch form Marvy for my flowers, Sizzlits Architectural Accent #3 and Architectural Accent #4, and the Ivy Tendrils die from Memory Box. My oval frames, and my sentiment, were cut with my Silhouette Portrait machine. A few little blue rhinestones were added as flower centers to give a bit of sparkle.

Here's the current Stella sketch to follow. We'd love to have you play along with the challenge, and hope that this sketch provides you the inspiration you need!

For my card today, I've used the Bugaboo Stamps image called Coffee Time - May Your Cup. Instead of using the sentiment that is included with the image, I used one of the hearts off the mug, enlarged, and added some glossy accents to it to make it shine. I also added glossy accents to the hearts on the mug and the one in the steam.

My image is colored in PSE, and I added some texture to the yellow band on the mug, trying to give it a similar appearance to the paper I used for the scallop border, which has been punched with my SU border punch. The papers I have used are from the So Sophie 6x6 paper pad by MMe. I just love the colors in this, and while they may be geared more for fall, I thought they were perfect for warming a friends heart with this coffee image. :)

For my card today, I've used the Bugaboo Stamps image, Birthday Clown 2. 

This is another image that I had colored and printed, in my stack of images, and it was crying out to me to use it! I had never made a card this size before, and when I saw the elongated shape of the sketch base this week, I thought,....."why not?!". So, here is my little clown, complete with a "wish" for the birthday recipient (that is yet to be determined! lol!). I hope you like him! :0)
