Faux Pinwheel

 

This card uses the faux pinwheel technique.  It looks complicated and as if there are slits between the colors of paper, but it is made with squares which are layed on top of each other.  The last square is tucked underneath the first square.  Another very simple technique.  The stamp set I used on this card is called "I Am..."  This was one of the free stamp sets we received at the Stampin' Up! Annual Convention this summer in Salt Lake City.  This was the first convention I have attended, and I can assure you I will be there every year.  It was truly an amazing experience!
