After seeing so many amazing projects made with the Scalloped Box Card Pop-up die set, I finally caved and got one for myself. This is my first try at using it. I thought it would work well with the Dad + Me stamp set, so I spent a whole evening stamping and die-cutting scenery elements. The design was inspired by Paper Craft Crew challenge #250. On the tic-tac-toe grid, I selected Natural Element (the outside scenery images), Summer Celebrations (Father's Day) and Embossing paste (at the bottom). I added the embossing paste after I was done putting the whole scene together, using dyed Distress grit paste, and I really wasn't sure I was digging the look. Now that it's dry, I think I might like it a little better. I do like the texture it adds, but I wonder if it's still a little too pink (even though I added a few drops of reinker three times). Oh, well. Sometimes you just got to give new things a try and hope for the best if you don't want to keep making the same thing over and over again.
The colour combo came from ColourQ combo #4 (still working on past challenges).
