It’s time for PPA29 and this week’s challenge is based on another fabulous sketch by Margaret Moody. I don’t think Margaret will mind that I turned her beautiful sketch on its side so I could show off more of the I {Love} Love jumbo wheel image. Hand coloring the image with seven colors of Stampin’ Write markers provided a lot of color with very little effort. The most difficult task for me was deciding which colors to use and where to use them. Doesn’t the final image sort of looks like an event ticket?
DO IT YOURSELF TIPS!
- You don’t need to rush while hand coloring a stamp or wheel with Stampin’ Write markers. Take your time, just remember to “huff” on the rubber to remoisten the ink before stamping your image
- If you make a mistake while hand coloring, use a Blender Pen to clean away the unwanted ink
- To avoid crooked or overlapping images while using either the Standard or Jumbo Wheels use Stampin’ Around Wheel Guides ~ they will keep your project headed in the right direction
- Want your brads and buttons to all line up like a precision drill team? Use the template that comes in the Stampin’ Up! Mat Pack.

Brillant idea, coloring the wheel with your markers. I don't think I'd have the patience to do that. Your card is lovely.

Oh how cute, Liz! I love all the color and appreciate the time it took you to color the whole wheel! Very nice!

Perfection. Love how you colored the wheel. I keep thinking I should cut the stamps apart. However, with a little patience, I could use the whole thing in multiple colors. Very cool. Hugs, M
