Weekly Challenge - Wheels and Backgrounds

Happy Wednesday Stampers!

It's challenge time! All month long, Stampin' Up! has a promotion for free Stampin' Wheels when you purchase select stamp sets. So, I thought this would be a perfect time to use my wheels.

The challenge this week is to use a wheel or background image on your card or project. Pretty easy, right! To enter for a chance to win a little something from me, participate in the challenge and post a link to your project in the comments on this post. You have until 9am next Tuesday to complete the challenge. The winner will be drawn at random. I'll then post the winning card on my blog that day.

I made this card using my new Pun Fun stamp set and Sweet Stars wheel, which are both part of this promotion. The colors are Groovy Guava, Basic Gray, Soft Sky, and White. The image was colored using re-inkers and a blender pen. The edges of the Sky and Gray layers have been sponged for added texture. I used Nestabilities, paper piercing, and the photo corners punch for accents and then embellished with a brad, felt flower, and a rain drop sticker. The sticker is on the center of the flower, kind of hard to see in this photo.

Thanks for looking, hope you take the challenge. Happy Stamping! :)

cute card. wish the photo corner punch was in the UK catalogue. I guess it would be expensive to have it shipped over being rather heavy.

Hi Denise,
Love your adorable card!
Here's one I posted - if you'd like, it could do double duty for your challenge?
You're right, we need to get those wheels rolling more often.
