Happy Birthday card and a flower tutorial.....

So this little card was again made by the famous scraps!  The create blog had a tutorial on scallops and challenged us to make a card, this is my take:

Card I made from the Create scallop Challenge on THIS blog.

I was playing with my scalloped paper and trimmed off the edge for the bottom of this card.  I didn't want to just throw the other "inside" part away so I punched it and created the matching flower on the card above.  Following is a tutorial.

What you will need:
a scallop punch, or a die cut
paper
mist (I used strawberry shortcake)

1. punch 3 scallops, then cut down to the center leaving part.  Like this:

2. scrunch up your punched/cut scallops like this:

3. CAREFULLY undo your scrunched scallop.  

4. Glue one on top of the other.

5. Once all is glued together scrunch your scallops to resemble a flower.  It should end up looking like this:

This looks pretty good right?  For my flower on the card above I added chalkboard mist to give it some bling:

I scrunched it some more and just let it dry.  If you had a large die cutting machine like a Cricut, you could cut larger scallops and make larger GORGEOUS flowers.  As it is my punch was a 2" scallop, my finished flower measures about 1 3/4".
