Make It Monday #104: Handmade Pinwheels Card 2

Have you checked out the MIM over on Nichole's blog?  Go HERE to watch Ashley demonstrate how to make a pinwheel without a die...fabulous technique.

The pinwheel was made with some My Minds Eye designer paper...a little easier to work with two sided paper rather than gluing two pattern papers together.  The rest of the paper is all PTI and the sentiment is from We Go Together which was stamped in versamark and embossed with black ZING powder.  The aqua mist paper was stamped with Background Basics:  Tin Type.  I think this will  make a nice card to give as a birthday card to a young person!  What do you think?

I agree it is easer to use two sided paper. This is wonderful and happy Colleen! I love the polka dots with stripes, as long as my husband is not wearing them.

Love the colors and the layout. Your pinwheel is darling, and I'm totally with you on using two-sided paper having done it both ways.
