Another card for my sketch challenge
For this card I used the mirror image of my sketch. I always have to change something, even on my own sketches. How sad is that? LOL
For this card I started out with the sketch (obviously). I knew I wanted to use the All About Graditude wheel from the new level 3 hostess combo. I am still not to fond of Wild Wasabi and challenged myself to use that new In Color.
The card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock folded in half. I wheeled the jumbo wheel with chocolate chip over Soft Sky cardstock.
Then I wheeled the flower of that wheel on white cardstock and cut it out. I stamped one of the Little Pieces stamps on Groovy Guava cardstock and cut it out for the center. I tried the1/4″ circle punch, which was too small, the 1/2″ was too big. So I eyeballed it and cut it out by hand. Not quite circular, but good enough for me. I added a brad from the Vintage brads in the center and adhered it with dimensionals.
I inked up the flower from All About Occasions in Groovy Guava and then Rock n’ Rolled the edges in chocolate chip ink. The flower was stamped on whisper white cardstock and cut out. I then added a chocolate button and white fibers to finish it off.
The saying “You Rock” is part of the big Jumbo Wheel. My friend is stamped with stamps from Amazing to Zany.

Great card Beate! I like saying “Wild Wasabi”, I’m just not to sure about the color yet either.
I’m kicking myself that I didn’t purchase that level 3 set for myself. I’m really starting to like it now the more samples that I see with it. Hopefully I’ll have an opportunity to earn it in the next few months.
