Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop

“This month we decided to dedicate the Blog Hop to scallops! We want to see your best use of scallops, of any sort, on a project! This can include scalloped borders, offset-scallops, stamped scallops, scalloped mats, scalloped frames, layered scallops, scalloped tags or anything else you can dream up!”

It’s time for Papertrey Ink’s February blog hop and this month it’s scallops – right up my street! You can read all about it here. 
 
I doubt I’m going to be the only one who has used scallops on an owl, but I couldn’t resist! Here’s my sleepy little fellow.

 
 
I used the medium scallop die to cut alternating layers of smokey shadow and aqua mist card and then layered them over an oval die cut, trimming off the excess. A few circle die cuts for the eyes and ears, a scrap of orange for the beak and he was done!

 
The number of layers meant that this little cutie is really sturdy and probably thicker than chipboard!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop in all it’s scallopy goodness.

Debby

    Brilliant! Love the two tones, too, so you can really see the scalloped layers!

    Wow! This is SO cool, Debby. That’s a lot of work for one little owl, but so worth it.
