Punched 3 stars from Crumb Cake card stock.

Pinched each point.  This puffs the middle up and makes the star a little more 3d.

Rubbed the front side of the star on a River Rock ink pad.

Stamped my unmounted Texture Wheel using Soft Suede ink on the Crumb Cake corner of the card stock.  Note:  you can use your mounted wheels, but I prefer to unmount mine and use them as a stamp.

Stamped my unmounted Whimsy Wheel stamp using Tempting Turquoise and Not Quite Navy ink on the Tempting Turquoise corner of the card stock.

    Great beach card! I’m curious what brand of white gel pen you like. I haven’t found one yet that doesn’t dry out right away. Thanks!

    Michelle,

    congratulations on the #1 Rising Star award. That comes as no “shock” to me… you certainly deserve it and have certainly earned it. You’re so modest 🙂

    CONGRATULATIONS!! So you’ve only been doing Stampin’ Up a year or so?! While I started following your blog in early ’09, I figured you had been at this for years and years! Obviously, you’ve been an artist much, much longer 🙂 Your awards are obviously well deserved; I don’t know why you were in such shock 🙂

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I am so thrilled for you and your stellar accomplishment. It really doesn’t surprise me at all because I know just from being in your two classes in West Monroe what a fabulous teacher you are. You so deserve the recognition you received.

    Today I got my 2nd great granddaughter, Laila Ann at 1:31 PM, 7 lb and 5 oz, 20 inches long, and she has red hair just like her dad and his dad, my son, and her aunt, my daughter. I am so tickled. I am surprised you didn’t hear me all the way up there when they told us she had red hair. They are doing well.

    If you ever come back down here, I am taking your class again. 🙂

    Again, Congratulations!!!!!

  8. Gorgeous card!

    I have to ask… do you unmount all your wheels? Did you put these on some EZ mount, or something like that? Love the stipple one unmounted. If you get a sec to tell me what you did, I’d appreciate it. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful art! Sarah

  9. Michelle, I really dig the way you use your stamp sets – you have a lot and you pull them out! You remind me of stamp sets I just had to have – ordered – and then have not used them…. (insert embarrassed face). I appreciate you Woman!!

    XXOO sending hugs from Naperville!

    Take care and STAY POSITIVE!

    Michelle:
    I constantly am amazed at the dimension to which you take your art. You introduce techniques and ideas that just don’t occur to the ordinary stamper. Thank you so much for stretching us.
