One of my friends from college was celebrating her birthday. She loves the color purple. It's almost an obsession. I knew that any card I made had to be purple. It turned out that Our Creative Corner had a monochromatic challenge a few weeks back, so I couldn't resist making this card with that in mind. This scallop card is so easy to do with the Scallop Circle die (113648) and the Big Shot. If you need any help, check out this easy tutorial by Mary Fish. It was so easy to turn this into a cute little gift card holder as well. STAY TUNED, I will be posting a tutorial on how to do make this as well as my ornament gift card holder

• The card base was Lavender Lace
  
• I cut three smaller circles in various shades of purple and some patterned paper I had lying around
  
• The sentiment which is from It's Your Birthday (retired) was stamped in Elegant Eggplant. I just really love it and it's perfect words to live by
  
• I accented the outside with some flowers and rhinestone stickers from my stash
  
• The inside sentiment was actually from the Incentive Set I use as giveaways for my workshop
  

My girlfriend is a fan of Chipolte, so I got her a gift card from the chain as a gift. I know she will just love it. The entire card fit inside a standard A2 envelope which I was so happy about. I always have issues finding the right size envelope and this was perfect. I mailed it on her birthday, but she lives in NYC, so it got there the next day. I am getting better, I used to mail cards like weeks after. Just curious, how many other like me are there who are sometimes just a day late and dollar short. I would love to hear tips on how you improved as I still have room to get better.
