Today's CAS challenge is to use scallops which I used as a bg for my flowering vine - our back fence is covered with clematis vine and by May it will be a profusion of pink blossoms, which is what inspired my card today. I stitched double rows of scallops using MFT's Jumbo Scallops Die-namic for a bg panel and then used their Fancy Flourish to make the greenery. The leaves are snipped from die-cuts using Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish die.
I had free time this morning as it's a holiday here today and tomorrow after a busy and wonderful Easter day yesterday and just took my time arranging the flowers, tendrils, and leaves on the vine.
This is also for the technique challenge, to adhere die-cuts for the faux dry embossed look.

WOW!! To this Beautiful design and card and to your beautiful vine when it's in bloom!! I love how you have captured just a small part of the vine that grows in your yard, on this card, the scallops make a great bg for the flowers!
I have never seen a four petaled clematis before, your vine is simply gorgeous!! I can just imagine when the flowers are all gone and all the fuzzy centers are left, it's probably just as pretty, but without the color. Thank you for sharing your beautiful vine, Bridget!!
I've got a vine that is full of buds, hopefully there will be some flowers when my Mom is here later this month.

This is one beautiful and impressive card! I wish I had your patience (well, and of course, your sense of design) to punch and assemble all those flowers and scallops.
Would love to see your fence. I feel blessed if our clematis has ten blossoms.
