My mother's birthday is Wednesday. This is the card I sent her the other day. I think it turned out very elegant and pretty. I hope she'll like it too. It also fits the Pals Paper Arts Challenge 82 (PPA82) to use scallops. Enjoy!

It's hard to tell in the scan, but I did sponge the edges of the Crumb Cake card stock layer with the Crumb Cake Ink to distress them a little.
The Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die is one of the carryover products from the Holiday Mini. It's not pictured in any of the current catalogs, but is still available for purchase for $42.95, item #120893.
Oooh, beautiful card and terrific scallop work! Thanks so much for playing along with us at PPA this week.
