March Card Club - Card #1 - pinwheel backgrounds with a round images over metallic scalloped circles

 

It was great to be crafting with friends again!!! The group was smaller this time around but it was a great evening none the less.  

For this card I cut rectangles of decorative paper to fit fully cover my 4" x 5.25" layer.  I then layered two of the same colour and trimmed them - two cut diagonally in one direction and the other two cut diagonally in the other direction which when all put together created two pinwheels in contrasting colours.  It took a bit to get all the triangles in their proper places.  It was easiest if we made up the rectangles with the contrasting triangle and then placed them on our substrate.  Once on the substrate it was easy enough to glue them down properly.  We made sure our edges were as even as possible because if the middles did not line up as well they were going to be covered by our focal element.  We then adhered our pinwheel background to our card fronts and coloured our images.  The birds  are from Birdie Brown and the poppy is from  Cruzine.  We layered our coloured images onto the metallic scalloped circles and added them to our card fronts using 3D foam tape.  That finished our cards!!  Therese
