This is the card I came up with for the 365 Cards Sunday sketch challenge. When I saw the pinwheel that Gloria had on one of her cards last week or so, I just knew I needed to try it! And thank goodness she had a tutorial on her blog on how to do it. It is not too complicated, I just thought it would be harder than it really was! This card also fits into this week's challenge at Frosted Designs (plaid and dots) and SophistiCat (embossing).
I used a textured cardstock for the square card. The scrapbook paper is a two-sided print from My Mind's Eye. I used two buttons for the center of the pinwheel. On the orange matting, I used the Swiss dots folder from Cuttlebug. To make the dots standout more and ran a darker orange ink pad across the top. The birthday stamp is from Studio G.
This is adorable! Love the pinwheel and the colors!
