VC Rocks Blog Hop #2



Welcome the the 2nd round of this season's VC Rocks Blog Hop. For this one we were free to make any size card.  I decided to make a shaped card. Used lots of scallops! Base is made with Scallop Circle Bigz die using Tangerine Tango cardstock. Stamp set Hostess Four Seasons. The card on top of the base is made using Scallop Circle # 2 die (retired) using So Saffron cardstock. Pacific Point layer 2 1/2 circle punch. 2 3/8 scallop punch used for stamped image. 1 inch circle punch for the center. Inks used: Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, Cajun Craze, and Pacific Point. Also used Perfectly Penned stamp set for the inside greeting.


 

I added a strip of folded cardstock to the base card. I wanted it to have some more support to be able to stand the card.
