Scalloped Medallion Birthday

Ok, I had to add a second layer of the scalloped medallion in Apricot Appeal! Much better!



I have been wanting to try the scalloped medallion technique, especially after seeing some of Nancy Riley's fabulous creations with it. The Pink Elepant Sketch Challenge #20 has a nice focal in the center of the sketch, so instead of a circle, I thought I'd take a stab at the scalloped medallion. It looks difficult, but it is SO EASY! Check out the tutorial for the Scalloped Medallion over at Splitcoaststampers by clicking HERE!
