Going round in circles with Timeless Talk

I know it's supposed to be Three Minute Thursday here today but I got an exciting idea which I really, really HAD to try out - I thought that if anyone could understand that, it would be you! Come and see:

I started by embossing my panel with one of the circle framelits - oh yes, they're not just for cutting you know! (This is the sandwich I use for embossing with framelits in my Big Shot (from bottom to top): multipurpose platform closed, crease pad, my card panel, the framelit blade facing up, a scrap piece of card stock, cutting pad.) The designer paper was cut with the same framelit and I sliced the top off and glued it onto the embossed circle before stamping my penny farthing.

The penny farthing was stamped again onto scrap card stock so I could make separate wheels. I used various circle framelits and punches for this (I've listed which ones underneath the product list for anyone that's interested.) The wheels were glued over the stamped ones and decorated with Basic Grey candy dots.

I've had circles on the brain ever since I saw Less is More's Round and Round challenge this week but I shall also link this card up with Make My Monday which is looking for Male cards, Addicted to CAS where Wheels is the theme, and Addicted to Stamps and More where the lovely ladies want to see CAS cards.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE THIS CARD
(Click on each item to find it quickly in my shop) 

Stamps: Timeless Talk wood or cling, Teeny Tiny Wishes wood or cling

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Grey

Card stock: Whisper White, Basic Grey

Other: Circles framelits, Big Shot, 1 3/8" Circle and 3/4" Circle punches, Epic Day designer paper, paper snips, stamp-a-majig

How to make the separate wheels for this card
The large wheel cuts out with the third smallest circle framelit and the small wheel with the 3/4" circle punch. To make the large tyre I cut a circle into Basic Grey card stock with the 1 3/8" circle punch and then cut round it with the third smallest circle framelit; to make the small tyre I cut a circle into Basic Grey card stock with the smallest circle framelit, then cut round it with the 3/4" circle punch.

Returning home with my daughter in the car last weekend, we stopped at the lights and watched while a young lad zoomed over the crossing on his scooter. At the other side, to our astonishment, he leapt off the scooter and twisted it around his head with a practised flick of his wrist. After this move, he peered anxiously into our car to make sure we were impressed, only to find my daughter convulsed with laughter in the passenger seat. Poor chap - I hope he managed to convince himself that she just wasn't worth it!

See you tomorrow, when I'll have an exciting new video tutorial for you! (Hint: Easter is coming up and I have a thing about ears!)
