Place a milk bottle lid anywhere
on the outside of the marked circle so that
it touches the edge of the line. Trace around
the lid to mark the first scallop. Position
the next scallop by moving milk bottle lid clockwise
around so that it just touches the outline of
the first scallop and again is just touching
the large circle. Trace the lid again. Repeat
all the way around the circle. The end result
should resemble a flower.

|
Cut out the scallops with
craft scissors or a stencil knife. I personally
prefer to use a knife. Cut around each scallop
from the point where the markings touch on the
left side, around the bottom of the scallop
and to the point where it touches the marking
for the next scallop to the right. Continue
around the entire circle.
|
|
|
Carefully cut out the centre
of the scalloped circle, keeping the middle
section intact as this will form the base for
your layout.
|
|
|
Apply PVA glue or Jac paper to the top surface
of the chipboard frame and adhere to the back
of the �Berry Branch� paper. If using PVA glue
allow several hours to dry before continuing
to the next step.
|
|
|
Trim away the excess patterned
paper and/or jac paper from around the scallops
and on the inside of the frame using a craft
knife, keeping the paper from the centre of
the frame intact. Lightly sand the edges of
the frame with a sanding stick or light to medium
grade sand paper.
|
|
|
Ink the outside edges of
the scallops with black ink. Put aside to dry.
|
|
|
Cut a 8cm by 25cm piece of
the �Frosty� paper and adhere to the cardstock
circle base so that it overhangs the top, bottom
and left side of the base by approximately 1-1.5cm.
|
|
|
Adhere your 6 x 8 photo to
the right section of the base, again allowing
for at least the same overhang for the top and
right hand side of the base.
|
|
|
Using the reverse side of
the �Berry Branch� paper offcut, cut a piece
approximately 14cm by 18cm and tear the top
edge. Adhere this piece to the base butted up
to the �Frosty� paper and slightly overlapping
the bottom of the photo, again allowing for
a slight overhang over the base.
|
|
|
Adhere the ribbon over the
join created where the papers and photo meet,
keeping it roughly at right angles to the torn
piece of patterned paper.
|
|
|
Place the frame over the
covered base and adjust until you are happy
with the balance of the layout within the frame.
Using a pencil, lightly trace the inside of
the frame onto the base. Leaving the frame in
place, mark the innermost point of each scallop
around the frame onto the base. Remove the frame
and trim the base to the correct size by cutting
it to a circle midway between the marked outline
of the frame and the scallop markings. Adhere
the frame to the base as per outline markings.

To decorate the �Ghost Letters�
select 2 or 3 rub-on flourishes and cut them
individually from the main sheet. Randomly apply
small sections of rub-ons to the top surface
of each letter. Any excess rub-on can be removed
by trimming carefully with a craft knife or
lightly sanding the edge of the letter with
a sanding stick. Working on a craft mat, punch
holes in the ghost letters where brads are to
be attached. Place letters on the layout as
shown and mark positioning of the holes.
|
|
|
Apply �Beautiful� rub-on
to the layout as shown above.
|
|
|
Punch holes in the layout
and line them up with the holes in ghost letters.
Attach with brads.
