A Pinwheel Birthday for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge TSSC260

It's Monday, so time for a new Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge!!  I had a ton of fun making this one, I knew right away when I saw the sketch which direction I would go with it.  Here's our sketch for the week.

I haven't used the Pinwheel sizzlet in a little while so I thought it would be a fun focal point for a card with this sketch, take a look.

Isn't this a fun Spring card??  I have really been loving the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP from the Spring Catalog and thought the layering of the DSP and the Cloudy Day EF would be a perfect paired together.  I used the DSP also for grass and the pinwheel itself.

I was pleased with how the card was going, then came to a stop for a moment...where in the world was I going to put my greeting??  I first thought about a banner across the grass.  Then, it hit me....makes clouds with the greeting.  I just got the fun set Wishes you Way from the Spring Catalog that is meant for this pinwheel.  I simply used a marker to ink each word of the Happy Birthday separately, then punched them out with the cupcake builder punch.  Instant greeting clouds!!  I layered them right above the pinwheel using dimensionals, the top cloud actually has 2 dimensionals stacked to make it stand higher.

How fun is that?!  Super cute and fit right in with the design!  So, that's it!  My card was complete.  I hope you will hop over to Technostamper and join in the challenge with us!!  There are more ideas from the Design Team members, just click on the links below to see their blogs.

I love all the layers of clouds - especially where the sentiment is!

Love love love this card! I'm working with the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP right now and was looking for an idea... the clouds parted and the angels sang when your card arrived in my email inbox! I am SO going to CASE this! Thank you for the brilliant inspiration, Nicole!

Nicole, don't laugh too hard at me, but I'm working on my CASE and already am lost and confused. My question to you is: How did you get the clouds to cover the entire large panel of Whisper White given that the embossing folder is landscape and the card is portrait? I hope I'm not just having a blonde moment, but I really can't figure this out! Help!
