I just love the cards you get when you use this awesome stamp! This is for my wonderful step-daughter, who loves coral and green! I inked the medallion with craft inks, starting with blush, then some touches of coral and finished with cocoa on the outer edge. I applied clear ep and got the neatest effect, as not all of the image ended up being embossed--there are some areas where it looks like a chalk ink and others where it's embossed and shiny. The card base is cocoa, with a frame of blush around the medallion and I added the celery ribbon and a dew drop.

What a fabulous card! I really am glad that you described all your details because I could see everything a lot better. The layering of the colors onto the stamp turned out so nice. I like the shine you got from the embossing. I'm sure your step-daughter is going to love this beauty! TFS
