Bug in a jar

This cute guy is from Bugaboo stamps and it was a freebie. If you've never been to their site and you like humour you've got to visit them. There are two card types I love, one is doing scenery and the other is humour. They have a stamp called Stella and she is hilarious! I know I want her but there are so many different images and sentiments I'm having a hard time deciding. My sisters birthday is coming up so keep looking because she's getting a Stella card, lol! I've entered this card into the Bugaboo challenge and that was to use flowers. Frosted Designs challenge this week was to sand something. Stampin up paper is solid colour throughout so sometimes its hard to see when you sand but if you look at the bottom you'll see I sanded the embossed flowers.
Stamps: Bugaboo stamps, stampin up fundamental phrases
Paper: basic black, whisper white, ballet blue, green galore
Ink: certainly celery, bashful blue, real red, black, green galore
Other: crystal effects (its hard to see but I painted over the glass jar and in real life it looks shiny), brads, ribbon, spellbinders labels 4, flower punch, stampin up finial press embossing folder, photo corner punch

  4. Adorable Dawn, you are going to have to give a class on humerous cards, simple but funny! You are so good at it. I guess it helps to have a keen sense of humour - we all could use more of that -lol! Anyway, I really like it especially how you did the jar.

  6. Very, very cute card! I, too, love Stella--but be sure and check out the Gus images also. I think men's cards can be so difficult--and Gus opens up a lot of possibilities. Thanks for playing in Bugaboo's Flower Power challenge.
