Tea Party
What goes better with cookies than tea?!? Normally, I'd say coffee, but when we're talking smART Cookies, the answer is nothing... Nothing goes better with Cookies than tea -- Hence a Cookies' "tea party" --
Today's hostess, design team leader, Dina Kowal, posted this sketch on the group bulletin board at Yahoo, and invited the rest of the team (and me ~Yeah!) to participate... 
Here's what I did:
The focal image, ABC-Flower Friends, and accent flower from ABC-Birdie Bitties were stamped, embossed, colored with a combination of markers & colored pencils, and cropped or cut out.
The dress portion of the image was stamped and embossed a second time on print paper, cut out, and adhered over the corresponding areas of the main image.
After assembling the card as "sketched," flower petals were covered with dimensional glaze, and flower centers with glitter glue.
When dry, the first word from one of the of WD-171 Friends Make sayings which reads, "Friends make life a lot more fun!" was stamped on the card front as shown, and the remainder of the saying was stamped inside the card.
For the finishing touch, two itty bitty white buttons were customized with one of the blue Fluid Chalk inks, heat set, and adhered to the dress.
Note: smART images used on this card can be located in the catalog on pages 86 and 88.

Fun, fun, fun! I love the flower repeated at the top instead of a metal embellishment. Glad you found time to play!

Love this! The colors are wonderful, and what a great idea to split the sentiment like that. I need to remember that little trick!

Love the way you used the flowers as accents. Very pretty card!
