Scallops and Flowers

I love using die cut scallops and flowers together on my card fronts.  I will never forget how excited I was when EK Success first came out with their large shaped punches.  Spellbinders came on the scene with Nestabilities and after that it was anybody and everybody’s game.  I happen to love scalloped dies in all shapes and  especially love this beautiful circle die with the deep scalloped border and holes by Rubbernecker. I thought it would be so pretty used as a double decorative border for my floral spray.  My project today was made using the 5119D Nested Circle Scallop w/ Holes, 5109D Mixable Flower Stack and 5118D Leaf Group Die.  The designer paper I used is by Papertrey but I believe it is retired as I couldn’t find it to link.

The Scallop Layers

I cut two scalloped circles in white, measured and cut them so they would fit evenly on the card front and attached with ATG adhesive. I waned them to fit together like closed envelope flaps to create the pretty background for my flowers.

The Floral Spray

I cut one full group of flowers and then several individual flowers of one size. I cut one large green flower to use as a background for the full flower.  I formed the flowers using my stylus and molding pad and then attached the group of flowers together using glossy accents. I attached the foliage pieces and large flower to the card base using glossy accents.  I attached the smaller flowers to the foliage using glossy accents to fill in the spray.  I finished by attaching the tiny white pre made Nuvo Crystal Drops to the flower centers using glossy accents.  I thought the design looked incomplete so I added a couple ribbon tails for another touch of texture and dimension.

I love how pretty the white scalloped layers looks against the pink pattern paper.  Do you have any scallop dies or punches?  I hope you will get them out and create your own scallops and flowers project.
