New Medallion stamp

When I first got the new mini catalogue, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to buy the large medallion stamp, but I have seen some amazing things done with it, so of course I just had to get it! For this card I stamped the medallion in regal rose ink on the white card and then inked up the en francais stamp with a dauber in mellow moss ink, making it darker in patches and very light in others. I then stamped it over the top of the medallion. I used the dauber to put some ink around the edge of the white block. I then mounted it onto mellow moss card, and mounted that onto an always artichoke card base.

I used the vintage vogue flowers and a sentiment from the sincere salutations set for the main panel.

I stamped the background of the main panel with the en francais again (only this time I stamped off the ink twice before stamping on my panel). I cut the flowers out and then adhered them with a brad.

For the block through the centre of the card, I had a go at the "suede" technique. It is an awesome technique and one I am sure I am going to use a lot. You rough the paper up a lot and then peel it apart, using the inside fluffy portion as the "suede" panel. Here is a close up:Well that's it from me today, I will be back in a couple of days to share more.

Til next time, keep on creating.

The card I have to share with you today is one a fellow INKlings team-mate made at a recent get together. Ryn was making them for a school fete. If you want to check out some of her other amazing creations, view her blog here.


This card is so easy and very effective when finished. All you do is make a card base out of whisper white card, stamp the medallion stamp in the top left hand corner, use the curly label punch on the bottom of the right hand side and then stamp the sentiment in the hole. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig for this to ensure it was perfectly placed. The last thing I did was use some tombow glue on the middle of the medallion and put some dazzling diamonds on top.

Here is a close up of the sentiment window.

I made mine in rich razzleberry ink, but Ryn was making all different colours and they looked fabulous.

These cards are so quick to make and not something I would normally do, as I end up with lots of layers on my cards, but I loved making it and will definately be making lots more. Thank's Ryn for the inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

Keep on creating.
