SC 06/11

It’s time for another sketch at Sunny Challenges and Creations and  this week  Vicky is the creative genius.  The second part of this week’s sketch is to use a Wheel, any wheel, standard, jumbo or builder.  Simple!

For my inspiration card I decided to make a Christmas card using traditional colours.

I wheeled the Soft Holly standard wheel over Whisper White card using Old Olive ink and sponged the edges with the same ink.  I layered the wheeled panel onto Real Red cardstock.  I stamped “merry christmas” from the Easy Events stampset onto Whisper White card using Real Red ink and punched it out with the Decorate Label Punch.  I punched a Decorative Label from Real Red card, cut it in half and attached one half behind the top and one half behind the bottom of the greeting Decorative Label.  I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole on each side of the greeting and threaded Real Red 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon through the holes and attached the ribbon at the back of the wheeled panel.  The greeting is actually popped up on dimensionals.  This whole piece was then added to the front of a folded Whisper White card.  I punched 2 Real Red 5 Petal Flowers and 1 Old Olive 5 Petal Flower and scored each flower down the centre of each petal.  The folded the petals along the score line so that they had some dimension.  I sponged Old Olive ink along the fold lines on the Old Olive 5 Petal Flower and also on the outside of the petals to give it a little dimension.  I sponged Real Red ink on the outside of the petals on each Real Red 5 Petal Flower.  I attached one Real Red flower on top of the other using a dimensional.  I trimmed 2 petals from the Old Olive 5 Petal Flower and attached it to the back of the Real Red flowers using a Mini Glue Dot.  I attached the whole flower to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.  Lastly I added 3 medium Basic Rhinestones to the centre of the flower.

I really love this card, it is simple but has lots of impact and I love all the white space.

To see what Gwen and Vicky have created to inspire you pop on over to Sunny Challenges and Creations.  Then once you have created your card add it to Mr. Linky.   Everyone has at least one wheel, so it should be an easy challenge to enter.  I’m looking forward to seeing lots of beautiful entries this week.

Bye for now, Kris.
