What do you know about windmills? Did you know that windmills have been around for ages? I read that windmills date as far back as 2nd Millennia BC. Throughout the centuries, there have been changes in the structure. They were built for a purpose – to pump water and mill grain whereas wind turbines, which in my opinion are not as pretty, are used to generate electricity.
When I think of windmills, I always think of a tulip back drop like in the Netherlands. By combining the Windmill Fields dies and the Flowering Flowers DSP, I created my own beauty.
Card Details
- Pear Pizzazz cardstock base 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
- White cardstock 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ sponged with Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz inks.
- Flowering Fields patterned paper (2-1/2″ x 3-11/16″) was adhered to one of the Stitched So Sweetly die cuts.
- Windmill was die cut from Crumb Cake and Early Espresso cardstocks.
- Two Early Espresso blade die cuts were adhered together to make it sturdier when turning.
- To make the card interactive, a small white brad was used to connect the blades and windmill, which allows the blades to turn.
- Windmill was adhered to card base with 3 Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Sentiment stamped with Early Espresso ink.
One of the six all occasion sentiments from the Flowering Tulips was used on this card.
