Pinwheel mosaic ....

.... Morning all!!   This card is for two challenges:

• Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge - WMSC108 designed by Belinda Chang Langner
• Colour Q - cQc148 

I really like Belinda's sketch but I was having a hard time trying to decide what to do with it - until I saw the inspiration photo on this week's Colour Q challenge.  The interlocking pattern on the bag is just fab and I knew that I could replicate it with my new pinwheel (we call them windmills in the UK) stamps.  Here's the card:

Stamps:  Waltzingmouse - Playful Pinwheels, Compact Sentiments II
Inks:  Stampin' Up! - Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango, Poppy Parade, Pink Pirouette
Accessories:  Papermania - orange ribbon; Dotty brad and card from stash

It's so easy using these stamps to make the interlocking pattern - I did start off with the solid stamp, but it was much too heavy, so I used this fun solid and stripe pinwheel.  I made the tag from a scrap of white linen textured card from my scrap box.  I stamped the large outline pinwheel in red and then filled in with the stars and solid.  I attached the pinwheel to the tag with this dotty brad - so it moves too.  I found some dotty orange ribbon to finish the tag and stamped this simple sentiment directly onto the card.  It's going off in the post to a friend today.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the Olympics - I watched the Men's Time Trial road race yesterday and was delighted to see that Bradley Wiggins for Team GB won the gold!  That's all for now, I hope to be back tomorrow.

Edited:  Just uploaded my card to WMSC and found that I'm not the only one to think of using the pinwheels!!!  Great minds think alike!!!
