I've unmounted all my wheels and have fallen in love with them all over again. They are just so much more flexible now that I can use any ink on them and I can actually see where they will be stamped. I should have done this years ago! I even gotten half of one of my craft drawers back.
I love how this card turned out but I can't take the credit. The layout comes from Susan Raihala's (aka. Lateblossom). I've tried to find the post but am having trouble with blogger at the moment. I loved her one layer version. I didn't have the nice pens though for bordering the image so I've layered a scrap of white card stock with my stamped image onto two small strips of real red. I love the red bling on this card. My LSS was blowing out red bling one year after Christmas and I bought the entire stock just so I'd have lots for this stamp. And now I'll finally use it since I have rediscovered this pretty holly image.

That wheel was my very first wheel purchased and used for my Christmas cards that year. I used a small (non SU) hole punch to punch out all the berries spots and backed it with red paper so the red showed through the holes.
ReplyDeleteI would love to unmount my wheels, but have nothing to mount them onto. I sold all my background stamps since with advancing multiple sclerosis, I was no longer able to grip them to stamp them.
