Congrats to Angie, the QFTD! It's been a while since I was able to play in this challenge! I chose her Cupcake Pillow to case. I kept the cupcake theme and general layout, but I changed the images, colors and moved the side band to the bottom.
I'm also putting this in the Fan Club gallery, icing & sprinkles!
For the gingham background and pinwheel, I stamped the gingham using a lt pink pigment ink and let it dry. Meanwhile, I stamped the cupcake plate and two little cupcake plates, colored w/ Copics and fussy cut them. The recipe card die was used on piece of white linen paper and I sponged a little angel pink around the inside edge while the die was still in place. I did the same for the greeting tag then stamped both w/ black ink.
For the band across the bottom, I used a embossing border folder and inked it w/ the angel pink before I embossed it. Then I made two pinwheels...one is a 1.5 inch and the other is a 1.25 inch out of some paper stamped w/ the gingham. I put the smaller pinwheel on top of the larger one and put a brad thru the center. The brad was white, but I colored it w/ a pink Copic marker to match. I think pinwheels are a fun little alternative to bows. They are easy to make and for clarity, I made a little Pinwheel Tutorial if you'd like to see how I made them. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks for looking. Closeups & the Pinwheel Tutorial are on my blog: The Write Stuff
