I’m trying out the Featured Stamper Challenge again this week. Hopefully I got it right this time! LOL! Last week I accidentally used a card that was part of a different sketch challenge. That’s what happens when I RARELY stamp on Sunday! I think Bethie and all the other SCS’ers gave me a pass. This week I was a little more cautious about which card I chose. This week’s featured stamper is jaydekay. HERE is the card that I chose to work with from her gallery. And, here is my card…

As, the title of this post suggest, I played with bugs to complete this card. HUGGABUGS that is! OMG, as if everything else at Stamping Bella wasn’t awesome enough, she comes out with these little bits of cuteness {there’s even a stamping and a crafting one!!}. That’s part of what I changed up for the challenge. Everything I changed…
1. Stamp and sentiment
2. Used Swiss Dots embossing folder instead of polka dot stamp background
3. Instead of embossing the heart, I stamped it with Geometric Flowers II backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms
4. I used a mat for both the white panel and behind the ribbon

Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. See ya tomorrow!

    This is darling. I love the hearts that set off the main image. I can’t wait to play along with the FS challenge, that is if my DH gets the dishwasher installed quickly this morning.

    Shut Up!! This is truly a darling work of art. I just recently purchased this stamp, but it hasn’t arrived in my mailbox yet. Although when it does, I’m going to have a hard time not wanting to just COPY your card element for element. It is just too cute for words. Thanks for inspiring us always!

    I love your cards and sketches. I like a lot of the elements of your new blog design, but would like it so much better if I could scroll for all of your recent entries instead of clicking on each post individually. The ease of use is so much greater when you can just scroll rather than click a post, return to home, click the next post, return to home, etc. You might want to ask others how they feel about it.
