Hello my friends. Look how early I am in making a Valentine's Day card! I had this an idea for a heart shaped easel card and decided to try it out before I forgot about it.
I cut the card base using the heart from Gypsy Wanderings by Cricut. Then created the scallops around the top heart with a scallop border punch. I found the easiest way to do this, for me, was by cutting a slit into the flat side of each scallop then giving the whole strip a light misting of water. I am able to then mold the border around the curves of the heart.
I used the latest sketch from
Card Patterns as my starting off point.
(hint) turn it sideways and squint.
This is beautiful Michelle - love your creativity in using the challenge :-)
