Yep, that’s right.  Today I thought I would make a quick and easy card with no stamping required.  Last night I had some of my card and papers out and was looking through it, then put it down to do something else, and when I came back I had this colour combination there in front of me.  So I thought I would use it in a card.  I have used some of the papers from the Palette of Prints promotion from earlier this year which is no longer available, however you can still get these papers in some colours, so please contact me if, like me, you just love them and have to have lots of them 🙂

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper: Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst

Accessories: Urban West Rub Ons, Black Brads, Cream Half Back Pearl (from Pretties Kit), Scallop Circle Punch (for the cut out corners).

Today I thought I should post a card using one of the Stampin’ Around Wheels to fit in with the Stampin’ Up! promotion which starts tomorrow (see earlier post for details).  This particular wheel is not part of the promotion but it goes perfectly with one of my favourite stamp sets Heartfelt Thanks.  The card is a simple concept of repetition, and while it is simple I think it is effective.  I have also used a watercolour technique for the flowers.

If you are interested in learning more about how you can use Stampin’ Around Wheels and make the most of the current promotion, why not hold a workshop so that I can show you and your friends how easy and effective they are.  Just send me an email dotdotstamping@tpg.com.au

Sorry about the quality of the photo, we had a dark and dismal day today but enjoyed the rain anyway.  I will try to take a better one when the sun comes out again.

Stamp Sets: Heartfelt Thanks, Watercolour Joy Wheel.

Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Blush Blossom, Very Vanilla.

Ink: Perfect Plum, Watercolour Wonder Crayons in Perfect Plum and Always Artichoke.
