Decorative Medallions

I saw a similar card by Jennifer Brum, and wanted to try making my own version (with different stamps and colors).  I chose Early Espresso and Very Vanilla.... although this picture looks like it's Black/White (hmmm).

Anyway, here is Jennifer Brum card:

I do have the Secret Garden stamp used in Jennifer's version, but wanted to use the Medallion stamp set on mine.  I think it turned out classy!

Thanks for stopping by!

I needed a soft subtle 'thinking of you' card and immediately thought of a past Dynamic Duo Challenge of using Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand.  You may view this past challenge here:

Also, I used a past Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge for this card. You may view this past challenge here: http://www.papercraftcrew.com/2013/07/24/pcccs-51-card-sketch/

Both were great challenges, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to create with them even though the challenge is not longer open.

Thanks for taking a peek!

One Daydream

I wanted to create a special thank you card for a very special friend! This card was a joy to put together using the 'Million & One' Stamp set.  Doris Denman had used the other stamp in the set, and place a double outline around hers.  I liked that look a lot, so I placed one outline around this stamp set..... I really like how it turned out.  Thanks Doris!

Stamp sets - Million & One, Daydream Medallion

Medallion Greetings - FMS90

Using the Freshly Made Sketch (FMS90), I made this cute wedding card!

Here is the link to the Freshly Made Sketch blog: http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2013/06/freshly-made-sketches-90-sketch-by.html

I had a bit of trouble embossing the red piece, since the embossing folder went horizontal instead of the way you see here.  The edge of the embossing folder flattened a portion that I had just embossed.  I used a stylus tool (on the back of the piece) to pop the hearts back up.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets - Daydream Medallions, Best of Greetings, Itty Bitty Banners

Paper - Naturals Ivory, Real Red

Ink - Soft Suede, Real Red

Accessories - Basic Pearls, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Big Shot, Floral Frames Framelits, Adorning Accents TIEF, dimensionals

Perfect Medallions - SCCSC159

Saw this fun sketch on Stampin' Connection (SCCSC159), so I decided to use it to make a 'Get Well' card for my Mom.  She's gone through so much already with her pancreatic cancer.... now to make matters worse, she has a kidney stone too.  Luckily, it's just one kidney stone, so it should pass in the next day or so. Love you Mom! =)
