I finally got to play this weeks FS131 Challenge. sleepyinseattle (Joanne) has always been one of my favorite stampers. Do check out her awesome gallery.
I loved Joanne's "Medallion" background stamp cards and since I just got my stamp I had to CASE one of her cards. My friend "Suen" also has some gorgeous "Medallion" cards in her gallery.
I changed the colors, etc. , but kept the same layout. My card is 5 1/4" square. I also used this weeks CC231 to use bleach. I bleached the medallion and stamped onto Pacific Pride, which gave the bleached area a mottled Bermuda Bay look. I added bling with Rhinestones to give the card added zip.
Enjoy and TFL.....
