PPA 82--Scallops

Scallops! I had them for dinner last night, but these scallops are much prettier! Our theme at Pals Paper Arts is scallops! How will you make them a part of your project??

I really did not use the blues in my card because of this photo, but rather just by wanting to use the birdie print from the Botannical Gazette Designer Series Paper (Occasions Mini).

Here's how I made my scallops: I lined up seven 3/4" circles cut from Not Quite Navy. They just happened to fit across my birdie print, which is cut to 5-1/4" x 3".

I used the piece of 5-1/4" x 1" First Edition Designer Series Paper (Occasions Mini) to make sure my circles were straight as I adhered them across the card.

I added MORE scallops by double-matting my sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes with an oval and the oval scallop punch. I thought some pearls and a nice Marina Mist taffeta bow were appropriate!

PPA 80 Those Were the Days~Vintage

Today I'm so excited because I stepped out of my comfort zone for a Vintage project! You can use the photo above for inspiration, but remember that you don't have to use the same colors as the photo---it's just for you to get started.

I am in LOVE with this First Edition Designer Series Paper (Occasions Mini). It is thinner than most of the Stampin' Up! and is easier to manipulate. I cut my scallops out of it, then ran them through the crimper two different ways. I used my fingernails to "age" the edges. I put an antique brad into the middle of my flower.

Aren't the bees sweet? That is the Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini.

I am so glad you stopped by to see what I created for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. Are you ready to go vintage? What are you waiting for?
