DD #48

This week at Dynamic Duos the colours are Soft Blue and Deep Orange.  At first you might think they would clash but they actually are quite sweet together.

I created a shaped card this week, partly because I was going to use a tiny image and sentiment and I wanted to shrink the white space down a bit and party because they are so cute.  

I die cut two large scallops in blue and the same size circle in white.  I stamped the scene first then I embossing using the Swiss Dots embossing folder to mimick the rain.  Not sure if I like that or not.  I would love to know what you think?

To hinge the card I used a trick I learned in Clean & Simple Card Making 2, to score a 1/2" of the scallop that will be the back and glue it to the front.  I also cut a bit off the bottom of the back so that the card would stand without rocking over.
