Ashley's PTI MIM video really inspired me! I would never have thought to use felt for a pinwheel, but I loved hers so had to make a second card. I don't have a border die that was the right design for the trim, so I used Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangle & then cut the scalloped edges with my scissors. I got heavy handed with the glue & some bled through. Not to worry--gems to the rescue! The center is MFT mini rolled rose--I do so love that die, especially used with felt. Finally cut a piece of the dowel I bought for crafting years ago & covered it with brown silk ribbon. The wonderful sentiment is from PTI Floral Foliage & is stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia. The dry embossing folder is by Tim Holtz. I'm also entering the challenge at A Passion for Papertrey since there are 2 fonts. Thanks for taking time to come by--I know you have a lot of choices & I so much appreciate your comments.
Hope you'll consider helping me celebrate the start of my second year blogging by entering my challenge. All the details are here & there's still plenty of time since it doesn't end until March 10.
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.
