4-Sided Pinwheel Tower

 Morning and this is the card I made in June and said I would post Monday but felt tired and a bit down so nothing happened lol anyway here it is.

I made a 4-sided pinwheel tower I first saw on Pinkys blog and liked the idea and best of all it folds flat for posting.Found the tutorial HERE.

Narrow strips of P.paper from stash,the larger pieces were made with white cardstock and smooshed distress inks-stencils and background stamps from Chocolate Baroque and some unpackaged loose stamps and stencil

Leaves cut with dies from The Works and main stamps from AALL&Create all stamped onto cardstock then stamped again coloured with promarkers fussy cut and stuck onto the card pieces.

Toadstool from a Rubber Dance set and snails from same AALL& Create set as the veg were stamped onto book pages and cut out -doodled round all the edges but no sentiment until I decide where it is going.

Card also folds flat for posting.

Morning Carol,

I was taken with Pinky's design as well and used it for hubby's Birthday card back in June and what I like is you can personalise the shape as you have done here, looks really nice as a DL shape.

All the elements and colours you used work so well for our One Earth theme at River of Creativity, so pleased you joined in, thank you.
