I love my leaves awash wheel, and I paired it up with the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from the new Holidays & Wishes stamp set. Oh, and of course, my new favorite color - Wild Wasabi!!
I really hope we get a new scallop punch in the new catalog - I like the corner rounder, but we NEED a scallop punch!

Okay, this is probably a really basic thing, but how did you ink your wheel to get the colors this way? I really like it, and would love to reproduce it ...
Don't use a cartridge. Use the ink pads. Just roll it about half-way in one color on an ink pad and then the other half in the other color. Since this green and orange were so different I really didn't want them to overlap. With more similar colors, like reds, oranges, and yellows, I think the overlapping looks good, but not here.

very pretty. I love the Fall Whimsy, this reminds me of this set and then makes me sad it is being retired. TFS I use my pads to ink my wheels all the time, just don't have all the cartridges, and like you did, you can have versatile colors. again, very nice, TFS

This is a great card! Thanks for the tip about inking the wheel -I'm going to have to try it. I was afraid that you had unmounted your wheel. Using the ink pad is a much better option, especially now that SU! has retired so many cartridges.
