When I saw this card online, made by Lynn Weiss, I thought it was beautiful. I decided to make it for a neighbor getting married today and incorporated purple since I think she is using that in her wedding. The card base is Elegant Eggplant (#105126) and the white paper is the beautiful Shimmery White (#101910). I stamped the Medallion stamp (#115223) with Versamark (#102283) on the Shimmery White card stock and embossed with White Embossing Powder (#109132). I also did a second one so I could punch out the center circle with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch (#112004) to pop up with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) in the center of my card. The bottom portion is made using the Big Shot (#113439) and the Perfect Details Texturz Plate (#115962), just a separate little piece of paper to fit there. The sentiment is stamped with Teeny Tiny Wishes (#115370), punched out with the Word Window Punch (#105090) and mounted on a piece punched out with the Modern Label Punch (#116630). I popped that up with Dimensionals too and sponged a little ink around the words.
Before I assembled the card, I sponged Elegant Eggplant ink around and on top of the embossed Medallion, and then took a paper towel and rubbed off some of the excess ink over the Medallion. I even very lightly rubbed the sponge over the diagonal embossing on the bottom portion just to highlight the embossing. I tied some Whisper White Organza Ribbon (#114319) around the card layer and glued a little half pearl from the Pretties Kit (#109114) with a dot of Tombow Multi (#110755) in the center of the Medalliion.
And there you have it! Of course all you have to do is change the sentiment to have a beautiful birthday card or any other occasion.
Thanks, Stephanie! I love the Medallion stamp, so many elegant things you can do with it I think!
This is an absolutely gorgeous card! I haven’t used my medallion stamp very much..I need to get it out and try this. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
