Linda has created a super cute sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches. The moment I saw the sketch, I knew it would be perfect for the Close To My Heart May promotions-Dream Pop and the May Stamp of the Month, Pinwheel! I love the bright cheerful colors, which are sure to brighten someone’s day! Here is the original sketch for you to play along-
I inked my pinwheel stamps in VersaMark ink and then embossed in white powder. I applied them to my card with pop dots for added dimension.
I left the inside blank, adding a strip of pattern paper to dress it up for a future sentiment or notecard.
All supplies by Close to My Heart, except where noted:
S1305 Pinwheel (May Stamp of the Month, only $5 with qualifying purchase!)

When I saw this week's sketch, I thought the pinwheel set would perfect with it. Beautiful card!
This card should be made into a poster for every floor of every hospital everywhere, from the NICU all the way to the MOLDIE, I mean GOLDEN OLDIES wards! NO ONE could be down in the dumps after looking at it. Fantastic, Allisa!!
(BTW, I thought of you as I used a burlap bow tie on a card last Monday!!)
This would most definitely brighten anyone's day! The colors are awesome and the coordination between the pinwheel and the paper is perfect!
