Shapes: Scalloped Acetate Thank You: Front

This is the first time I've ever made a card in a shape other than an A2 sized rectangle. I've always wanted to, but never have - so I was really excited that this week's challenge was to make shaped cards!

 

I decided I wanted to make a scalloped circle card using acetate, but it was harder than I thought! My punch wouldn't cut through one layer of the acetate, much less two, so I had to use a piece of scrap paper to make a template, then trace it, and cut it out.
