{MTSC64} For My Friend

It's time for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge and today I've created yet another vintage card for you.  I think "vintage" may very well be my new favorite style. :)

The flower on this card is from a two-step retired stamp set called Heartfelt Thanks.  This is a set I go to often when I want a floral image.  I've stamped the bottom layer in rose romance and the top in rose red. 

Check out my scalloped edge and tell me what you think!  I was going to simply use my scalloped edge punch but I loved Mercy's big scallops in her sketch so created my own instead.  I took a 7/8" circle punch, punched out 6 circles and glued them, slightly overlapping to the bottom edge of the designer paper.  You'll notice in the photo below that I did something similar on the inside too. 

To embellish, I've used some old (literally) flower eyelets and a circle clip to attach the ribbon.  They are both in an antique brass finish.  The floral designer paper is from K & Company and the pink polka dot from My Mind's Eye~Bohemia Collection.
