The Medallion background stamp is one that has been extremely popular, but I've been a little uncomfortable with it, mainly because I just haven't used many background stamps. This has a very striking image that just begs to be seen. I chose to make this in Cameo Coral. I love coral colors and this one will be retiring soon, so I wanted to be sure and use it. I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out, though I might have tried putting the image off-center just a little bit more. Maybe add a little shimmer? What do you think?
I punched a jumbo grommet in the center of the medallion, and added the sentiment over the scallop oval punch. We'll be making this card for Card Club on Tuesday night.
Don't forget that the Occasions Mini Catalog expires on April 30, so get your order in soon! Also, be sure to check your supply of favorite card stock colors and inks. Are they on the Fond Farewell list shown in the right-hand column? If they are, you'll want to stock up while you can. On June 1, they will only be available while supplies last!
Happy Stamping,
Twila
