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.

Very pretty Bridget. I love Clematis. When we lived in northern Virginia I had a lovely garden with a purple Clematis and a climbing Queen Elizabeth rose. I loved the two together. You'll have to show a photo on your blog when it's in full bloom. Today, though, I'm satisfied with this lovely version.
Hugs,
