Color-Changing Chameleon Reveal Wheel Card

Rachelle

This is my entry for Lawn Fawnatics challenge 207: Rainbow.

I wanted to make a nice thank you card and this was the perfect thing. I had made this design before and always wanted to remake it but I was shocked to see that the last time I had made it was literally 5 years ago. My skills have improved a lot over that time so it was fun to make a much better version of this design.

I even love how the envelope turned out! I used Rainforest cardstock and foam stickers.

So many of these products weren’t even created yet the last time I made this card, like the tree branch or the background stencils. It also works sooo much better as a square card than my previous versions which were A2 sized. I actually made 2 cards at the same time, one which a white sentiment and one with black, but I liked this one better. If I ever take a picture of the other version I’ll add it here.

A note about this card size: For some reason when Lawn Fawn created the Reveal Wheel Square Add On, they made it a little small. Normally when I make a square card I make the biggest part of the base with the largest of the Large Stitched Square Stackables, and then I use smaller sizes to layer over that. But if you start with that large square and try to pair it with the Square Reveal Wheel, the gaps between the layers are too big and it looks wrong no matter how you try to layer it. So the thing that looks the most natural (and what Lawn Fawn does in their intro video for this product) is to use the largest Outside In Stitched Square Stackable for the base instead. Then the next layer is the largest Small Stitched Square, and then the Square Reveal Wheel after that.

This was my first version of making this card, in 2019: https://handmadebyrachelle.com/2019/09/19/one-in-a-chameleon/
