My fabulous friend Sandra brought this to a meeting and I could not believe it was made with the scallop punch.  It is so easy to make.  I will be having a class if you are interested.  We always like making 3-D items.  The card is in the flower pot.  It takes very little time to make except for the drying paper flowers.  It is well worth the wait.

I am on Twitter now.  Come follow me.  my address on Twitter is http://twitter.com/1Armstrong . Let me know if you are on Twitter and I will follow you.

I would love for you join my Scrapbooking Club or one of my Hostess card clubs.  Let me know by email if you are interested. Thanks for looking.  Martha

Nancy,
To make the flower, you punch 21 scallop circles in Regal Rose and 3 - 1 3/8" circles in the same color. On the 21 scallop circles cut each scallop towards the center without cutting any petals off. Sponge the tips in Rose Red. I use a wood skewer from my kitchen and put it in the middle of each scallop citcle. I bring all the petals up to the skewer and squeeze the petals together so they will stay up in a bunch. I then put a glue dot on the end and attach it to one of the circles 1 3/8". The first is put in the center and then 6 go round the center. When you have all 7 on the circle you have one flower. Attach all three finished circles to a card that fits in the pot. The pot is 9" X 3 1/2" scored at 3 1/2 X 7". I punched the top 2" portion with the Eyelet Border Punch. I hope this helps. I am visual so sometimes instructions are not clear. Email me if you have questions.
