Scalloped Happiness

During my stint in the recliner, I scoured through my computer files looking through projects from Splitcoast and member blogs just itching to get back down in my craft room. I came across this one card (I honestly cannot remember where I saw it – but it’s definitely CASE’d) that had scalloped edges. The gal that posted the original project had the patience to cut out the scallops by hand. I have neither the steady hand or the patience to cut out the scallops, so I decided to mimic the look by pulling out some retired die cut pieces.

The scalloped Confetti White rectangle was from a set of petal notes available in a past catalog. The rose from Embrace Life and “happiness” from Warm Words was stamped with my Timber Brown StazOn pad. The rose was then watercolored with an AquaPainter and my Pretty In Pink and Certainly Celery Classic Stampin’ Pads. The scalloped rectangle is mounted on to a piece of Pretty In Pink cardstock. No card is complete without ribbon, right? Right! So I tied some Chocolate Chip 5/8” grosgrain ribbon around the matted cardstock before I layered it on to the Chocolate Chip card front. Although I really prefer the cute-ness factor of the scalloped card, I think my quickie version turned out pretty cute too!
