Today I am going to show you a technique that I got from the Technique Junkie Newsletter.  I used the SU! stamp set Inspired by Nature.  This card is very soft looking and very easy!!



I used the Big Shot with the Bigz Scallop Circle Die and cut out the circle from a piece of scrap chipboard.  Taking the circle and putting it away for a later time, I used the negative for this technique.  I place the cut out chipboard (negative) over my Very Vanilla cardstock and sponged More Mustard on the edges going into the circle.  Making sure not to go into the center and making the edges darker.  Since I wanted to use the White Gel pen from Stampin' up! to accent the scallops, the darker it was the better!!  Leaving the negative in place I then stamped the Inspired by Nature so it wouldn't go out of the edges.  You can make it to where it goes out of the masked oval, it is totally up to you and the card you want to do.
