Scalloped Buttons and Bows



I cut two of the scalloped die out from scrap stock to use as a topper

Because my die has inside decorations I wanted to keep, I cut away the scallops

Score the 8 12/11 card stock in half at 5 1/2 " and fold

Place the die above the fold and cut through your cutter

The light blue is now your card and the purple is the base of my topper
I also cut one circle from my DP, inked some flourishes on one edge and glued to fit inside my dark purple topper.   Punched 5 or 6 circles in multiple sized and stamped some circle sentiments from Raindrop Echo Designs onto them

Using the Dimensional liquid, I filled in the stamped image only section of the circles 

If you find bubbles inside, pin prick them to release the air

All of the circles were embossed with a circle folder through the Cuttlebug, I found a sentiment with circles too and used momento ink, glued around the edge and applied twinklets for the sparkle!

Then Die cut 3 Lacey circles, I used Spellbinders Nestabilities but any 2 1/2" to 3" die will work

Glue the first two together, hold till dry

Bend the first two outward and place glue on each edge for the third piece 

Create a sentiment of choice and distress the edges while the cupcake flag dries

I use hot glue for the pop stick in the middle

Finished project with two pearl beads and a bow or two full of circles!
