Ready for Spring and a challenge

Today's color challenge was to use pumpkin pie, certainly celery and orchid opulence. Since all our snow is melted and it was a balmy 42 degrees F here today- I am desperate need of a sign of Spring. I can't believe Easter will be next month. I always find it easier to do a card with a sketch, so I did Beate's weekend sketch challenge also. Having pumpkin pie in the challenge and Beate's sketch of having to embellishment on top left, I knew I was going to grab my felt flowers. I also decided to try the easy scallop edge method that Patty Bennett posted on her blog. She has the best tips. check out her site:http://pattystamps.typepad.com/


Anyways, I am going to show you how. Just in case you are like me and haven't broken down to get nestabilities. I am so trying to be good....






First step, is to punch out 1 3/8 circle punch on cardstock and then you line up your scallop punch over your punched circle. You will get an image like the one on the left.



Second step is to cut the scallop shape up in two or three bumps










Then put adhesive down, double stick tape works well and line up the scallop pieces on back side of cs.









So, this is up close shot of the scallop edge. My first time playing with it,
I think I might have been more anal about it, if I didn't have to take my son to guitar lessons.
