Crazy Dog Reveal Wheel

This Reveal Wheel Card (Hero Arts dieset) was created with Tim Holtz Crazy Dog stamped in Amalgum black ink, and watercolored.  He is accented with Yasutomo shimmer paint, a dollop of Aileen's Glitter Snow frosting on his nose, and enamel dots on his eyes and tags.  I created the sentiments on the Reveal Wheel to turn as you read  "What Cake"   "Happy Birthday-brown"  "To Mark -black" and "Best Wishes gold"  I made templates from the Hero Arts stencils for the reveal wheel, and on this one colored each sentiment differently in Photoshop.  The font is Shaka Pow Upright.  The cupcake is made with a (very, very old) Fiskars punch and topped with Glitter Snow for frosting and a cherry on top with a red enamel dot.  The DP is from a SU 6x6 designer paper pack, and each ribbon is accented with wink of stella and matching glitter pen.

Picture Changer---Lawn Fawn

This adorable card is made with Lawn Fawn's new Picture Changer Die, and a graphic created by Trina Clark Walker in the RETIRED Turtles Rock set.  The Inside Sentiment says "Turtles Rock"and "Embrace The Shell in Which You Dwell"

Be careful with this die---that you have the image you want on top to be cut with the LONG die, and the revealed image on the shorter piece.

The card below was cut wrong and rescued by positioning.  It is done with SU DP, and Melon Mambo paper. Double Popped up art piece only, not mounted or framed.  You just push the tab instead of pulling it.  Stamp on tab is from Push by Lawn Fawn
