Here I am, and I stand so tall...I'm just the way I'm supposed to be...

Hey, y'all! How's your week going so far? Mine is good, just busy! I have something really really fun to show you today, so I'm glad you stopped by!

On my last Stamping Bella order, I decided to add some of the solid images that Emily has. As many stamps as she has, there are some that don't get as much love, and some that are tucked into the nooks and crannies of the site that you almost forget are there. But let me tell you, you will be seeing many more of these from me, cause WOWEE they are fabulous! Check it out:

See? I told ya! I chose this week's CPS Sketch as my starting point. I cut and embossed a piece of Kraft cardstock with the largest Labels Four Nestabilities die. Then leaving the die in place, I inked up the Solid Funky Dandelion with Spanish Olive, Red Magic, and Midnight Black Versamagic dew drops and stamped it three times. Then I stamped the Solid Funky Bamboo in Spanish Olive around the bottom as my grass. Once the ink was dry, I sponged around the inside edges of the die with Close to Cocoa ink and then removed the cardstock from the die.

Once I was finished patting myself on the back cause it was so gorgeous (*giggle*), I popped my main image panel up on dimensionals over a Chocolate Chip piece of cardstock embossed with the Textile embossing folder. Then I stamped the Thinking of You sentiment in Chocolate Chip ink on a scrap of cream cardstock and cut and embossed it with a Long Classic Rectangle Nestabilities die and sponged a bit of Close to Cocoa ink. Before I adhered the sentiment, I wrapped a piece of polka dot chocolate ribbon around the card and created a fun little bow/button combo. The button is from the new Tortoise Button Bonanza, and I threaded some twine through to tie the bow to the ribbon strip. A few light cocoa pearls were the perfect finishing touch in the top right corner.

So...whaddya think? I know, something totally different and unexpected...kinda like me! *chuckle* I hope I've inspired you to take a peek at the other categories in the Bella store next time you shop...there's some fabulous stuff in there!

That's about it for me today...I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!
