What better way to start off your inspiration than with a challenge? This is an amazingly talented group and I know you are going to love them and be inspired by them. I am lucky they are my PALS :) I am happy to say this card was inspired by the very first color challenge on the new Pals Paper Arts Challenge Blog. Bermuda Bay, Choc Chip and Melon Mambo -I'm so excited to participate. The link will be located here on Stamp, scrap, get kreative on my right sidebar. Make sure to check back every Thursday for the newest challenge.
*I started with a Bermuda Bay (boy is it ever popular with me lately) standard size card base, and inked my flourish from Friends 24-7, in Whisper White and stamped.
*Then I kreated a shadow by inking up with Bermuda Bay ink and offsetting my image slightly over my Whisper White image. Cool effect, right?!
*Then I took my Bella's Border Wheel and introduced it to some ink. First Whisper White and then Choc Chip were run along a piece of Choc Chip cardstock to kreate that same shadow effect.
*Little tricky with the wheel, so I will show you a trick. 
See the seam on your wheel (click photo to enlarge, you may see it better), start your wheel and seam at the very edge of your paper and roll your first ink color - in this case Whisper White. Tip: Because I'm not doing a long/large wheeling area, I just roll my wheel across my stamp pad and then onto my cardstock.
*Then ink up your second color, here Choc Chip was run across my pad, NOW, key is to move your seam a tad so you don't start at the same point. Viola', instant shadow technique.
You can purchase the Wheel Guide (104834) to avoid crooked lines or overlapping images. Hint: I use a thick edged straight ruler to run my wheel along to keep my image in line.
Give it a whirl on your wheel :)
* Added a few non-SU rhinestones, who doesn't like a little bling :)

Love the card!!! I have to try that shadow effect
Wow! Thanks for the tutorial on shadowing! You never fail to be an inspiration to me!
That shadowing technique is the BOMB! I know if I tried it, my image would be one big smear! It is a beautiful effect...I have to borrow that wheel too! ;)
Beautiful card, thanks for all the tips on using the wheels. I was given a few wheel stamps a couple years ago and did NOTHING because I didn't know what color ink to buy or anything. I'll get the handle and give it a spin!
Ooh, beautiful card, Kim. Thanks for all of your techniques, too! They're so very helpful!
This is such an awesome tip! I thought it was embossed at first!! WOW! Kim, your talent is incredible - I love checkin' in here with you! ;)
Boy that shadowing really does a 3-D trick to your wheel! Thanks for sharing!
That is really cool. I gotta try that!
Gorgeous. Very cool shadowing effect. Excellent tips on the wheel!
Hugs, Mary
Your shadowing effect is great. The images look like they are lifted off the card. It sounds difficult but I will have to give this a try. Thanks for the tips.
This shadowing is AWESOME! Beautiful card, but that shadow really makes it stunning I think. :)
