They Are My Daughters

Did this for the Weekly Challenge at Studio Calico I loved the colours!  I had to through in some Teal because I used the Heidi Swapp Confetti Stencil and blue/green finish starting coming off on the clay I was using.  I hate starting projects over so I just rolled with it :)


Couldn't find any vellum so I used one of the glassine bags that the embellies came in for a quote I found on pinterest.   For the wood veneer I found this cool Gold Sharpie at Walmart and I used that to colour the letters.

I've been wanting to make a pinwheel embellishment for some time now and found these directions on Martha's Stewart's blog  so easy to follow!


  • First I cut a 2" square


  • Then I added my water colours 

  • I found the center of the square marked, used my pencil and ruler to make a line from the corner to half a centimeter from the center of the square 



  •  I then used my micro circle punch to punch holes in every other other and in the center of the square. If you don't have a micro circle punch a needle will do.

  • Fold in the corners with the holes and match them with the one in the center, fasten with a brad and voila a cute little pinwheel accent for your page :) 


I think you'll definitely be seeing more of these accents from me!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all had a good weekend!
