For this challenge, we had only one requirement: to use scallops. Unfortunately, this is as close to scallops that I'll ever get.
Combined with bazzill for the base, I've used Basic Grey's kioshi for the top panel. I've embossed Rubbernecker glamor girl with fine DP and popped her up on dimensionals.
This woman of retro style can be found at
rubbernecker.com. Isnt it fun?
Thanks for looking!

Oh Bazzill! Is that not delish! I mean, really de-lish!!! Yeah, you're back, and Carla is on the throne. Beautiful card to honor our Queen! Gorgeous scallops and a more-than yummy swirl!

This is one styling lady! I love this image and just look at the perfect cutting! Love the papers you've chosen and what an honor for Carla. You picked well this week, as you usually do. It's good to have you back.

Love your fashionable lady with her paper scallops in the background. And how clever to put a swirlly die cut behind the lady of fashion. I love that idea!!

Wow, Anne, what a beautiful fashion statement this card makes. This is stunning. I absolutely love the layers, punched borders, and lovely colors. I have so wanted one of those fashionable ladies from Rubbernecker, but had no clue what to do with them. You've inspired me to shop (like THAT takes much effort--LOL). Love the way you colored her outfit. This is fantastic!!
