No Time To Stamp?

Challenge #19 - Keyword ssnotime19 - There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload your project at Splitcoast and/or your Blog, anytime at all!  You can play as many times as you like!!!  The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!!  Please link back here.

Today’s challenge is to incorporate a *scalloped edge* into your project.   There are NO SCALLOPED PUNCHED SHAPES OR DIE CUT SCALLOPED SHAPES ALLOWED!!! (Please read the list below for clarification)  You must create a scalloped edge anywhere on the card, but an EDGE to a panel, not a punched scalloped shape, no Nestability scallop shapes – but a scalloped edge you created. No other rules — just have fun!  But remember, the theme of my challenges in general is to *stamp simply*, so let’s just keep that in mind!

Here’s some ideas on how to create a scalloped edge:

1. Use scalloped scissors
2. Make scallops with a non-scallop punch, such as a corner rounder with the guard removed or the slit punch
3. You may use a scalloped lace punch, like by Fiskars or Martha Stewart, those type are OK because they are edge punches
4. You may use a scallop shape punch  or Nestability die (rectangle, square) ONLY IF you somehow layer them or cut them apart so you have only an edge scallop, not the full rectangle or square exposed
5. You may create a scallop by overlapping punched circles
6. You may use an actual piece of real scalloped lace
7. You could use the scalloped edges from paper doilies
8. Editing to add:  You may use the scallop strip in a paper pack, like Crate usually has scallop strips in them, just make sure you turn it into an edge scallop
9. Editing to add: My main point here is I just don’t want you to punch or die cut a scalloped rectangle, put it on your card, and say it counts — IT MUST BE AN EDGE  — and anything you can transform into an edge scallop is OK.
10. Editing to add:  And you may use a Punched or Nestie shape of any sort for your focal image as long as you have the required scalloped edge.
11. Be creative — can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!!

Some wanting to play said they have never uploaded before.  If that’s you and you need help uploading,  just go to my Challenge No. 1 here.

Here’s my sample.  I made my scallop with the corner rounder, guard removed.  Then I punched my holes with the Cropadile.  To get them exact, you know that little dimple that comes when you punch with the corner rounder — well, it is in the center, so I first took my piercing tool and just punched that dimple into a hole so I could easily see it.  Now, with an easily visible mark, and adjusting the depth of my Cropadile, it was super easy to get perfectly placed holes!

The white panel is stamped with Pretty in Pink and the floral background stamp and the edges are sponged lightly with Purely Pomegranate.  The image and sentiment are stamped with ColorBox Fluid Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan, the Always circles is up on a dimensional, the ribbon is the Chocolate Taffeta.  The berries are gone over with the Pink Spica Glitter Pen, but it doesn’t really show up much in the photo.  It adds a beautiful, sparkly touch IRL!!!

That’s it!!!  I love scalloped edges and can’t wait to see what you all come up with!!!  Hope you can find the time to play if you are so inclined and, as always, thanks much for stopping in!!!  Have a great weekend!!!
