Pin'wheeled'

Inspired by the positive comments I got for the border of a calendar that I had created using punches, I thought of doing it once again and try to improvise it!! Here is my card, with all handmade embellishments :)

I enjoy making these embellishments. I wanted to try a butterfly for a long time. So this time I did it finally, I drew a butterfly and cut it and drew a few lines as necessary.

The rose is also handmade. I had made it long back but was waiting for the right card to use it.

Pinwheels :) These are also handmade.

And here is the handmade doily and the frame using the punches.

So how do you like it?? Please let me know your comments and feedback.

Calendar - July 2013

Here is my page for July 2013 (yes!! after March, I jumped to July, for no obvious reasons!) for the calendar that I'm making (To know more about it, start from my previous post). I tried to make doilies with my punches and here are the results :)

I used the same pattern paper throughout. I'm not sure if this can be called shabby-chic.
