I got the Stitched Exotics set as part of the SU! specia and got the “It’s Beautiful” jumbo wheel for free. This cardis super fast and easy using only 2 main colors and lots of sponging!
The base in naturals ivory cardstock and I rolled it with coral along the bottom. The main panel is chocolate chip and guava layered cardstock and I stamped the small dotted leaf oer the guava leaf in white to give it just a peek of texture (you have to look closely for that one!). I added chocolate chip satin ribbon since the card used a lot of flat finish. I have some satin ribbon from the winter mini, but there is also choc. chip satin ribbon in the Theatre multi-pack of ribbon if you need to get some for your use now.
The sentiment is popped up and heavily sponged for added depth. Thanks for looking!

This is so lovely Britta! I keep eyeing this set, but haven’t quite pushed myself yet. No, the special isn’t enticing me since I already own the wheel. What’s up with that, you ask? Why own the wheel but not the stamp set? Yep, that would be me! *eye roll* I thought the wheel would go with A Beautiful Thing.
