Oh So Pretty!

Aren't the colors of this just "oh so pretty"? Well the girl too, but that goes without saying. *wink* I wanted to make this the minute I saw the sample on page 109 of the new catty. That Berry Bliss DSP is just the prettiest. Don't you think? I also used the new Fusion Flowers on page 177 . What are these you ask? They are high quality, custom-colored felt flowers. I layered them here with flowers I stamped with the One of a Kind flowers and punched out with the Boho Blossom flower punch. I added a clear rhinestone brad from the Pretties Kit to the centers. I know I used 4 brads on this project. That's a lot for a hoader such as myself. *grin* The little hinges I used were from Karen Foster and I purchased these at my local Ben Franklin. (plug for Gretchen & Heidi) The scallop circle was done with the SU scallop circle punch. How you may ask, it looks bigger? I will show you how with the following tutorial. I know you're impressed. I'm getting so "on the cutting edge". Pardon the pun! *Ü* Ok, I'm trying.....here goes.

Punch small (1 1/4") circle punch. Then around that hole you've made, punch a scallop circle

Cut the circle apart between two scallops. Now take and make small snips every 2 scallops. See next pic how it should look now.

Cut a circle using your round coluzzle circle template.

Put snail adhesive on the back and attach the scallops to your circle. I used the 4th circle on the coluzzle and I needed not quite 2 full scallop circles to go around the pink circle.

Here's the finished circle. Now no need to have scalloped circle punches in every size. Give it a try! Hope you enjoyed this.
