Anyone familiar with Jodie Mackrell knows that Stella is one of her favorite characters.
Sparkle N Sprinkle fell in love with Stella's unique form of snarkiness and encouragement, and turned this fun image into a rubber stamp set.
Card Size:
5.5" x 7.5" (A7 American)
Colored with Copic Markers, and framed in orange and aqua, a little "Sparkle EP" was added on the doilies and frame for visual interest.
If you enjoy watercolors, embossing this with black detail EP and then watering down brilliant colors in the background and on the jar images, this would be an easy coloring job, too!

Punched with a retired MS punch, the aqua paper was also dry embossed with dotted EF and shmooshed with Brilliance ink.

On a Personal Note:
As mentioned in a previous post, we are in our "wild fire season" in Florida.
Unfortunately, a wild fire broke out close by yesterday, and our clear, fresh air now is laden with ash and smoke. Combining with the heavy layers of pollen everywhere, the smoke and ash is sticking to everything. SO GRATEFUL for the air conditioning.
We live just outside of the Withalacoochee (With-a-la-coo-chee) Forest, so we will see more than the average number of wildlife temporarily, and will keep the water buckets full so they can drink.
Floridians are looking forward to our rainy season, but we must always be careful what we wish for, right? Here is a headline you may find interesting, with over 100 wildfires being fought throughout the state as of April 10, 2017. I know many of you live in areas prone to fires as well. They ARE necessary for the Florida ecology, but just not pleasant - I guess kind of like having to choose to let a surgeon perform a necessary surgery?
Thanks for visiting today!
hugs,

Your card is so cute, Donna! We sometimes get forest fires here in Quebec, and they can be extremely hazardous. Air conditioning is a definite asset. Take care!

Dear one, I hope you are not in any danger. That must be awful to have all that smoke in the air. And, as to the card that is so funny! I love the way you colored the image and the cool dies you used to frame it. Thanks for sharing. And stay safe!
OMG Donna is that fire close enough for you to take those photos Very scary . Don't share your meds you need them //.............Lis
Cute card, Donna......love her purple hair.
Hope you are safe dear friend, must be frightening being near fires.
Fantastic card Donna, great image and colours.

What a fun card Donna - just typically Stella! Love the askew framing - really fits in with the mood! Awesome dotted background and the coloring is fabulous!
Hope the fires are put out soon. Take care of yourselves.
Funny card, Donna - I love Stella's snarkiness! The die cut and embossed layers add a lovely touch.
Those fires may be necessary for the ecology, but they look so dangerous for both wildlife and humans - hope you and your close ones stay safe! x
This card is fun and more De, I am sure she was modelled on me !!!
The wildlife must find your water bucket a life safer.
Take care of yourself sweets.

First, your card sure put a smile on my face and gave me a laugh out loud moment this morning. How fun is Stella and the sentiment, hilarious.
Second, those pictures are unbelievable. How scary and the loss of wildlife is sad to think about. Lots of babies in the Spring, and hard to think about these animals being caught up in these fires.
Fun card my friend, just what I need to get me started today.
hugs
Sue
I chuckled out loud at this card. It's so appropriate. Love it!
Oh, yes, I have this one as a digi. LOVE it! It's printed, but not yet colored. I plan to send it to a friend at my former work place. I have a couple of Stellas for her, in fact. Your card is awesome! Love her purple hair! You've got me all inspired now.
Those fires are a frightening sight when they get so close. I hope you're still safe in your home. Good for you putting out extra water. I wonder how many people think of that?
Fabulous fun image and sentiment love the wonky angles too-very thoughtful putting out water for the wildlife and hope the fires don't get out of hand and you all stay safe

LOL soooooo funny - love your card and Bugaboo stamps you did a great job as always thanks for sharing!!!!!
Oh Donna such a fun card and like you said you could use the image for many different type cards! Such neat framing and layering of them too! She will love it!
Oh my sounds like the fires are close hope they can keep it contained, that is such a great idea to have the buckets for the animals :)
Magnificent and terribly funny card, Donna! Love the sparkle. I have been thinking about you with each news report about the Florida fires and hoping they weren't dangerously close to you and yours. Looks like they are practically in your back yard from the photos. Keeping you in prayers, my friend.
What an adorable card design. Stay safe, I hope the fires are contained soon.
Hugs Diane
Your card is sooo funny; the wild fires are NOT! Hugs!
A great smooshed background, with a wonderfully intricate die shape. Had to laugh at the image too! Be safe with the fires, and hope it's not bothering anyone's breathing. That can be so horrible, and also for the wildlife. Thanks for putting some welcome water out for them. Hugs & TFS
Oh, that is such a fun card, Donna!!! For sure has me smiling!!!!! Love the askew panels and the punched borders of the aqua!!! And doilies are always a winner, hey and with some sparkle they're even more special!!!! Your colouring is simply great and I can imagine that it must have been fun to do it!!!! A very cute card for a special friend, Donna!!!!!
Take care with all the fires!!!!! Wonderful of you to have the water out for the wildlife!!!!
Have a great weekend, sweet friend!!!

What a fun card! Love it! Oh my! What a fire! I hope you all remain safe.
Love your fun card it made me smile :) I have family in Southwest Florida and the fires have been a big concern this winter. It's sad when you can't go outside and everything is covered in soot. How wonderful you leave buckets of water for the wildlife. I hope the rain this weekend puts out the fires. Take care, Hugs, Shirleyxx
What a fun fun card that will make the recipient smile for sure, yes a great stamp, too! The fires look scary, I wold hate to be in the line of them...hope it all has improved by now for sure...I thought I left a comment on this before, my goodness my mind is going for sure...lol...have a great Sunday!
Great card, hope all is well. That smoke can be quite bad and hopefully the fire gets contained.
These images are such a hoot! So sorry to hear that you are surrounded by fire & smoke. Be safe my friend. Sending rainy day thoughts your way. Hugs, Autumn
Wild fires, not good, thank goodness this summer we were saved from the fire bugs in a drastic way.
