Stylised Pinwheel

Pinwheels, they make you smile and I used to make these for fun and interactive elements on my scrapbook layouts and challenged myself to make a more static stylised one for a card this week.

Once I started this, it was a pretty quick card to put together.  To keep it simple I die cut the triangles and then inlaid the framework so it was flat on the card and not dimensional.  I then cut another four triangles from some very old colourful textured patterned paper and inlaid the little cut aways.

I added a bright brad to the middle and drew the stick, the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and voila... pinwheel :)

    Fabulous CAS card Claire, love your take on the turn theme! Your colourful inlaid pinwheel looks very stylish. I have a pinwheel die that I haven't used for ages, so thanks for the inspiration, Cathy x

    Thanks for giving me the inspiration to make a pinwheel! I've been trying to come up with an idea for a 2 yr old's birthday card and I think this works!! I love how you inlaid those fun triangles with such cute papers! Who would get a card like this and not feel happy? I love it! Such a fun idea :)
