I made a fun little bowling ball shaped box using the adorble stamp set Spare Me. I found the 3D Bowling Ball Box at the Silhouette Online Store. I cut it out and put it together using blue and black cs.  I then stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black, colored with Copics and cut it out.  I layered it over the sentiment and stamped the star shaped image with Brilliance Moonlight White Ink.

I made a pretty little card today using some of the gorgeous new Caribbean and Dark Berry colors. I cut the flowers out using the Summer Lovin' Dies and stitched on some buttons for the centers. The leaves were cut out of Split Pea felt using a Branches, Banner, & Bloom Die and the butterfly out of Sunflower felt using an In Flight Overlays Die.  

I also used the Circles Cutting Plate for the background and a Banner Stacklets 1 Die for the sentiment which comes from the Wispy Wishes stamp set.  Here is a close up:
