Pinwheel Spin

Hi peeps! Happy Easter! I've been thinking about the tall and skinny TCP Tuesday sketch all week long and finally had a little time to myself to play yesterday. So I pulled out the cute What a Blast set and Pinwheels CutUps from The Cat's Pajamas and did a little stamping just for the sheer joy of stamping's sake!


I just HAD to use that big old pinwheel die (isn't it gorgeous?), so a little tweakage to the original sketch happened, but you can still see the inspiration there, I think. The pinwheel is cut from Stella & Rose Mable Paper, then pinned together with a vintage brad, sponged a little with vintage photo ink and then layered over a taffeta bow.  PJ and his pinwheel from What a Blast is stamped onto a Labels 10 diecut, then I paper pieced the pinwheel and colored everything else with Copic markers, adding a few stripes to the pinwheel pole.  And he just had to tilt a little since his heart is spinning!  The You Make My Heart Spin sentiment is stamped directly on the bottom panel of patterned paper, and then I finished off with some stamped and cutout clouds from the same set.  My card base uses the Long Scallop Rectangles Nestabilities and I accented each scallop with some liquid pearls.

That's all from me today!  I hope you have a fabulous Easter and thanks so much for stopping by!

So Fabulous! I love what you've done with the sketch! And isn't it great to stamp, just for the fun of it? If only there were more hours in the day...

Julee- this is stunning! I love that pinwheel! And you did a fabulous job with the sketch girlfriend. Now how you gonna send that out? The one question I always ask myself after testing my creativity. UGH..... you don't want to ruin it.

Fabulously done, Julee! Love the liquid pearls around the edges and the pinwheels are great. Loving that DP too, best part being I picked some off at a 60% off sale at my LSS. Can't wait to use them.
