Pinwheel, Pinwheel, PInwheel


I was in a very textural mood when I put this card together for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge #159.  I started with the colors listed in their challenge and when I gathered my card stocks, papers, and inks and had them laying flat on my work surface I could see I was right on track for the challenge.  Then I made the pinwheels and the back sides of the DSP didn't quite meet the challenge.  As you can see I kept them, cuz I liked them, and so I guess I failed the challenge by adding a touch of Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade.
