Reveal Wheel Cards




Whilst sorting a bit aimlessly around in my craft room, wondering what to make, I came across the Lawn Fawn reveal wheel dies and stamps that I purchased over a year ago and had never used. So I made this fun little card using a dragon image from MFT stamps, a sponged sky and some die cut hills. 

I photographed three times for you to see the different sentiments that pop up as you turn the week........


 







But I wanted to see if I could come up with something for an adult birthday, so came up with this, using a Fuschia stamp set by Clearly Besotted. If I make this one again, I think I will position the stamp so that it is complete on the top layer - I am not very keen on the way the flower by the wheel looks chopped off - I live and learn!



A friend from Florida posted a photo of Manatees huddled together for warmth on the Crystal River in Homossasa, apparently they are having a cold spell there. It still looked pretty appealing to me,  sparkling clear, turquoise, water.....and bought back lots of memories as this is where we used to go canoeing. All our friends who visited from the UK were taken for a day out on the river - a lazy paddle down crystal clear water watching the birds and wildlife, and stopping to picnic and swim . Our friends still talk about the experience when we get together, and they all remark on the friendliness of fellow boaters standing on the banks as we paddled by. Their friendly greetings usually turned to concern as they saw the hot, red faced Brits paddle past them, the usual greeting was 'hey, do you guys need water? Sunscreen?......' Clearly the pale, unused-to-sunshine complexions of us Brits stood out like a sore thumb. The peace of the river was often disrupted as well by exasperated expletives as someone (usually me) crashed into a tangle of trees on the banks. Happy days.........

  4. These are great cards Enfys! We're they complicated to make? I have finished my Valentines and need to put them in the mail. I need to do some major cleaning of my craft area. Take care Enfys!

    1. Not complicated at all Maryellen, but you do need the Lawn Fawn reveal wheel dies and sentiment stamps. I bought mine second hand off a Facebook selling group. Google reveal wheel dies and you will find lots of YouTube videos showing how to use them.
