On Sunday I was playing around with some Papertrey Ink stamps - stamping on a sheet of Guidelines I Grid cardstock with my Giga Guidelines Stamp set. It's been a while since I played with this set and I wanted to make a birthday card. I stamped the entire sheet with one of the stamps from the set using Melon Berry ink. I played a bit with another color and tried adding in another stamp to the mix - then I had to call it a night.On Monday I got home from work and viewed the Make It Monday this week and I thought - this sheet of stamped images is the perfect starting off point for making a pinwheel (and my birthday card). Here's the card I came up with - I added a square of Aqua Mist Gingham patterned paper behind my pinwheel and an aqua button with some floss. The sentiment is from Think Big Favorites #7. I did make another pinwheel using some more images from the sheet and I'm hoping to make another card using it.
Oh I forgot to say I clipped my card to a cute little stand my sister made me for Christmas - so that's what you're seeing in the photo of my card. I've been using this little stand since Christmas to clip recipes up while I'm cooking and cards I want to look at after I've made them. Okay... thanks for coming by!

I love the paper you stamped in melon 441berry ,looks like you bought it. I also like the way you added the gingham paper behind the pinwheel almost looks like part of the wheel. Beautiful card! What a sweet gift from your sister !
LOVE how the background and pinwheel match. The square behind the pinwheel really makes it stand out. So pretty!
Fabulous stamped background - love the soft palette & the gingham panel set as a diamond!
Super pinwheel. Great idea to make your own patterned paper, and the gingham looks perfect with it.
This is so pretty. Love the colors.
