As I was combing through potential stamp and die sets, I remembered a favorite Stampin' Up cling rubber stamp set that retired years ago. It has a fun little scene that includes wheels. Take a look!
I stamped the image without its accompanying sentiment (in fact, I used my oldie but goodie red rubber scissors to trim it off) on a small panel of white cardstock. Before coloring, I used a cloud stencil and also added a bit of blue around the sides. I used a light hand so it's a bit hard to see in the photo. After the coloring was done, the panel was cut with a square postage die.
I found some cardstock that was close in color to the wagon and used a cover die that added a tulip piercing pattern and die cut little hearts. It was then cut with a postage rectangle die and added to the card base. A sentiment was stamped on the image square before mounting it on the card using foam tape. I thought a little enamel heart would look cute, carrying on the theme from the background, and found a wee yellow one that I added to the upper right corner.
There are so many possibilities with this theme, I hope you'll play along this week. Just remember to keep it clean and simple. My talented teammates have a variety of amazing examples, so I encourage you to use the link above and check it out. The challenge will remain open until 3pm EDT Friday 7/25.
Thanks for stopping by!
