I finally made a pinwheel, thanks to Ashley's video for the PTI MIM challenge this week. Until now I didn't know what I'd do with one after I made it. Ashley said she uses them like she would flowers, so that inspired me. I started with a mini pinwheel made from one of the squares you get from the PTI Take Three die. I stamped one side in Brilliance Pearlescent Coral using the tree top from the Floral Foliage set. The other side is stamped in Brilliance Pearlescent Lime using Background Basics: Geometrics. To embellish the center I used a pink sequin & lime brad. I bent up the ends like Ashley showed to do--really changes the appearance. This image from Lovely Leaves ties in with the green side of the pinwheel, so I stamped it a couple times in the green ink & colored the dots with a pink Gelly Roll pen. The Take Three die cut is dry embossed & then mounted with foam tape over the leaves & to the card front. Isn't this a great sentiment from Lovely Leaves? I stamped in Memento Gray Flannel & then traced over "brighter" with the same Gelly Roll pen. I think this qualifies as more than one font, so I'm also entering the challenge at A Passion for Papertrey where I was the lucky random drawing winner last week. I'd love to have you join my Blogiversary challenge--details HERE. You have until March 10, 8pm EST to CASE one of my first year's cards. Thanks for taking time to visit my blog. Enjoy the weekend.
this is super cute Greta. Love the colours you chose for your pinwheel.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and cheerful Greta. I love the pinwheel and how it matches the shape of the stamped flowers. The embossed panel with the windows is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteYour card reminded me of how I used to love pinwheels when I was a child. Whenever the store bought ones broke, we would make our own out of paper and attach them to drinking straws with pins which we bent to hold them on. Our homemade pinwheels didn't work very well though!
Love the pinwheel! Love the windows design too!
