Directions
1) Cut a piece of Not Quite Navy Card Stock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2". Score and fold in half to make a card.
2) Cut a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock to 4 x 5 1/4".
3) Pop the Daisy Dash Jumbo Wheel into the Stampin' Around Jumbo Handle.
4) Wheeling in one direction only, ink up the Wheel by rolling it across the open Kiwi Kiss Classic Ink Pad until it is thoroughly inked up.
5) Use the brush tip on the Not Quite Navy Marker to color each of the daisies blue.
6) Wheel across the right edge of the Very Vanilla rectangle at an angle.
7) Remove most of the ink from the wheel by rolling it repeatedly across scratch paper.
8) Repeat steps 4 through 6 to ink up the rest of the right edge of the Very Vanilla rectangle at an angle.
9) Cut a piece of Kiwi Kiss Card Stock to 3 x 4". Adhere it to the left edge of the wheeled Vanilla rectangle.
10) Secure a piece of Kiwi Kiss Striped Grosgrain Ribbon to the card front.
11) Adhere the Kiwi Kiss/wheeled layers to the card.
12) Punch a scallop circle from a scrap of Not Quite Navy Card Stock.
13) Use the Crop-A-Dile's 3/16" hole punch to punch a hole in the center of the scallop circle.
14) Insert the green flower eyelet from the Hooray Designer Hardware into the hole. Use the A1 setting on the Crop-A-Dile to set the eyelet in place.
15) Insert a large turquoise Circle Ice Rhinestone Brad in the center of the eyelet and secure on the back side by bending out the prongs.
16) Adhere the scallop circle flower to the lower left corner of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
17) Tie a small piece of Kiwi Kiss Striped Grosgrain Ribbon to the ribbon on the card front.
Tips
Make sure you ink up your Wheel by rolling it across the open Ink Pad in one direction only. If you go back and forth, you'll only ink up a small area of the Wheel.
If you use the Wheel Guide, it will help you get your wheeled lines evenly spaced and straight.
