Scallop Circle Card with Flower Blossom Punch w/Flower Center Tutorial

The Pals Paper Arts Challenge this week is Scallops.  Scallops are definitely one of Mother Nature's best designs!  Pals Paper Arts challenges you to use scallops as your element of style somewhere in your design this week.  Keep it CAS and let those fancy edges shine! The Design Team is Dee-lighted to welcome Nina Dee once again as featured artist. Scallops PPA 82
I am also entering this card in the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge, To "Die" For!!! I hope you visit Hand Stamped Sentiments and check out the Design Teams Inspiration... awesome!!!

Well, I did a Google Image Search, I couldn’t come up with any ideas for Scallops.  I kept thinking Seafood.  Well, low and behold my own Scallop Circle Card came up and I thought, heck lets do another.Scallop Circle Card, Blossom Petals Punch, PPA 82 (2)
Of course I had to use Springtime Vintage DSP and a little Spirelli String Art.  Here’s my Scallop Circle Card Tutorial.  It includes the Spirelli String Art Technique.  I used Marina Mist to go with my card today, it works beautifully with the Springtime Vintage DSP.Scallop Circle Card, Blossom Petals Punch, PPA 82
My first flower from the Blossom Petals Punch was as big as the card, so I sized it down a bit.  For my flower center, I used a small Sun punch from Marvy.  Just punched out some Daffodil Delight Suns and used an embossing tool to soften the cardstock, let it curl up, layered and glued right onto the punched flower center.  See photo below...  You’ll need your tweezers, too.Blossom Petals Punch Flower Centers

Flowers and Butterflies just seem to go together, so I used the Embosslits Beautiful Wings Die instead of stamping one today.
