Wheely Good Deal....



Stampin' Up! have a great offer running during May. On preselected stamps the co-ordinating wheel is being offered at 50% off. These wheels are great for doing backgrounds or covering a large area, such as on boxes etc.
I have made a couple of cards to demo at my May workshops. Both are using the Polka Dots and Paisley set and the Petals Jumbo wheel. Now I have to admit this is my favourite set. I find it so easy to to create wonderful projects with this set.
The first card is made using only two colours Orchid Opulence and Whisper White.





I used my Orchid Opulence ink pad to ink the Petals Jumbo wheel. I placed a 'post-it' in the centre of the white card thinking I would get a frame affect around a plain white centre. It didn't quite work out this way when I lifted the 'post it' off, because the pattern is not dense enough. But by using my Orchid Opulence Stampin' Write pen, I drew the frame onto the centre. Then the card was just finished off by stamping the flower from the Polka Dots and Paisley stamp set using the Stampin' Write pens again to have the flower head in Orchid Opulence and the stem in Old Olive. I placed a Gold brad at the base of the flower then layered onto Orchid Opulence card and centred into the frame.


For my second card, then come over to my blog http://needmoretimetocraft.blogspot.com/ and check it out.



Thanks for looking X
