The current Stampotique DC is non-traditional Christmas so I raided my vast box of hand made backgrounds and picked a couple that matched, found some matching cotton and added embellishments with the sewing machine. The scalloped edges at the top are an automatic stitch on my machine, stitched on card. I then gently tore away the surrounding card and because the stitches are so close together it just came away, leaving the scallops.
