Today's card features Verve Visual's Serenity stamp set and some Cosmo Cricket paper. I stamped the flowers with VersaMagic Dew Drop inks and cut them all out to make a bouquet. Since I couldn't find a matching blue paper to go with the Cosmo Cricket, I opted to make my own. The background for the flowers...I cut the circle from white paper with my Nestablity die, then smeared my Aspen Mist ink pad all over it. Tah Dah! Instant matching paper. All of the circles were cut with Nestablitity dies. The scallops were done with a corner rounder (guard removed).
This is a matchbook style card. The top piece tucks into the lower scalloped layer. To keep those scallops shut, I adhered some Sticky Strip right above the crease inside. (Think right behind those lower red brads.)
I highlighted the flowers and added dots to the scallops with Star Dust Stickles.
