Round We Go for As You See It Challenge #344

round we go for aysi #344 1

Welcome, Stampers! This week's As You See It Challenge was a lot of fun to work with! It is a sketch challenge by our team mate Deborah! I love the sketch she gave us because it's simple enough to allow for a lot of variety and I know it's going to be fun watching all the entries come in. I had originally thought about peek-a-boo animals, but all my animals were too big or otherwise unsuitable, so the Round We Go bundle caught my eye, and while I'm on the In Colour kick, I got out the 2024 - 2026 In Colours again. Take a peek at the sketch on our Challenge Banner:

The challenge is called Stacked Shapes, because those circles could be any shape, but the little pinwheels from Round You Go fit the circle shape perfectly. I die cut two of each of the following colours Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink, and combined them in 3 different ways, gluing them together in the middle. Here's the final result:

  • I used a 1 1/2" strip of the Unbounded Beauty DSP, which has the same In Colours in it to mount the three pinwheels on. 
  • On the thick Basic White card base, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock, measuring 4" x 5 1/4", that had been run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine in the  retired Starstruck Embossing Folder.
  • On this I glued the DSP and the pinwheels, as shown.
  • The banner at the bottom is a 3/4" piece of Basic White cardstock with the sentiment, also from the Round We Go stamp set, stamped in Summer Splash ink.
  • It was mounted using Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • To embellish the card I used the 2024 -2026 In Colour Shimmer Gems.
Simple, but fun!

  1. I do love this set and you've made a great job of showing it off. The rosettes are so joyful all by themselves. I like the colours you've used for them. The starburst background is just the right choice.

  2. Those pinwheels are so fresh and colourful Heather and they go so well with that embossing folder too. They are really versatile too (I'm wondering as I type why I don't have any in my collection...!) A lovely card!
