Birthday card for a friend who likes blue and brown together. The scalloped border around the oval was made using the Scallop Edge Border Punch — punch a long strip of Old Olive cardstock and then trim it about 1/4″ away from the punched edge, apply adhesive to the back of the oval and then carefully attach the scalloped piece to the back of the oval shape by gently shaping it around the curved edge. I’ll let you in on a little secret — the scallops did not end up matching at the end so I hid the irregular edge with those buttons. 🙂
