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?

Make It Monday #104: Handmade Pinwheels Card 1

Today on Nichole's blog for PTI it is all about making your own pinwheels for cards.  You can watch the video HERE to see Ashley demonstrate this embellishment.  Here is my first card:

Firstly, sorry for the poorer quality of the picture, I took it from my phone as my daughter asked to borrow my camera for the long weekend.  She is down in San Francisco with her 11 year old daughter for a volleyball tournament.  And I didn't want to wait to post this card...

I used winter wisteria and spring rain pattern paper for the pinwheel.  And although you cannot see it in the picture, I used the Background Basics:  Tin Type on the tag and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I backed it with a pattern paper from Summer Sunrise.  I mounted everything onto a Soft Stone paper.  My sentiment is on the soft stone paper and stamped with spring rain from the Fillable Frames # 10, the sentiment is from We Go Together stamped in royal velvet.  The ribbon is PTI spring rain also.

Thanks for taking a look.  Hope you all are having a great Monday...that most of you did not have to work and could be in your studio playing...I was skyping with my BFF as we made our cards!  Skyping is sure a fun way to share in this crafty business that we love!
