Double Sketch Challenge...

So TWO challenges in one this week...
Color Throwdown #134 aaannndd Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #40



 I was happy when I saw the sketch was banners!!!... love them.
This is my rendition...





Pinwheel close-up




I think the pinwheels give the card a whimsical feel :) 
I'm the kind of person that hates throwing away pretty stuff I find. It just makes me sad to see pretty paper "die" (lol). I keep it in hopes of being able to reuse it at some point. So it gave me much joy to recycle the lovely orange leaves that came in a wedding invitation I was sent recently. They fit perfectly with the color/design scheme. I used ink, pattern stamps,  and acrylic paint for the finishing touches.
