Give It a Whirl


Happy 4th of July!  I decided to make a fun card for this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch Challenge #79.  If you'd like to see what the rest of the participating members of the design team came up with, click on over to the MFT Blog.

I hadn't used Fred Bear and the Pinwheel yet and I was feeling inspired to whip out the Perfect Pinwheel Die-namics.


I chose some bright, cheery patterned paper and didn't think a brown Fred Bear would jive, so I left him white and added some deeper (than usual) blue shadowing behind him.  I also added some touches of shadow to his fur to give him some depth.  I added some red chalk to his cheeks.  The grass was drawn in with Prismacolor pencils.  I paper-pieced the pinwheel he is holding and added a bright yellow brad to the center (Pink Hedgehog Papercrafts).  The sentiment is stamped on one of the Sentiment Strips.



I love the adorable Perfect Pinwheel every time I use it.  It's super easy to put together and it's just so fun!  



Here is a look at the dies I used today:


 Here is the sketch for you.  I hope you'll play along.  :)



Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog and the MFT forum on SCS (look for the most recent WSC thread).  You'll need to upload your card in the SCS gallery using the keyword shown on the sketch. You will have the chance to win up to $20 in MFT money. One winner is chosen at random each week!

Go get sketchy with MFT!
