I had a little time over the weekend to make a couple of cards, I've been playing with the theme of pinwheels as you can see! I've seen them around a lot recently on cards, so I thought I'd have a go, they're so easy to make. I'm still loving this yellow and blue color combo, it's so summery!
The stripe paper is from the Digichick and the spotty paper is a free download from the Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine website. I added some detail to the spotty paper by painting the spots with Creative Inspirations Paint in Blue Ice. The pinwheel is a simple square, there's lots of free templates online. I attached it to the card using a velvet brad. I painted the flat backed pearls in Creative Inspirations Paint in Autumn Wheat to match the warm gold satin ribbon. I added a little zigzag stitching on the sewing machine. The sentiment is from Anna Griffin. I'll be posting a few more pinwheel cards over the next couple of days.
Supplies:
Cardstock/paper: White card, Stripe paper from the Digichick, Spotty paper free download from Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine website, yellow paper
Ink: Ink it Up Black

Paint: Creative Inspirations Paint in Autumn Wheat and Blue Ice

What a fun card this would be to receive! So pretty with those soft colors too. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, and it does seem that pinwheel's are the new embellishment; a friend of mine and I were just talking about making some for her scrapbook pages. The colors and patterns all work so nice together. Great job.
