My First Pinwheel!

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.
