La-di-da

When I saw this La-di-da stamp from Cat's Life I had to use it.  The words were stamped with black Versafine ink and layered on brown cardstock.  The ribbon from May Arts was gathered with a running stitch and glued to the back of the brown cardstock.  The base of the card is brown cardstock; the pattern paper is from Webster's Pages.  A flower was created using 8 equal layers of scallops cut with a Spellbinders die from Bazzill cardstock.  The scallops were wet, scrunched, and placed one on top of the other.  A brad through the center holds them together.  Each layer of the scallop was then folded up over the brad.  Gold pearl pen was used on the corners.  This card would be appropriate for a retirement, special occasion, or a thank you for someone that did a nice deed!
