I decided to go back to some of my older favorites to play in today's Ways to Use It challenge and found this card Medallion Best Wishes eured99 by eured99 at Splitcoaststampers. My husband had received a Christmas check from someone and it came in a long card with a simple fold on the bottom edge to hold the check on the inside and I thought of combining this card structure with the Medallion on dp layout from eured99's card.
This is the first of 2 cards using this idea. I found a bargain on this dp the other day (10 sheets for $1.99) and thought the plaid would look good under the Medallion image. I layered it onto a piece of Vanilla cs for strength cutting a 6x81/4" piece. I scored at 1 3/4" and 5". I punched a scallop border on the top piece and stamped my Medallion image (missed a bit on the upper edge due to the fold line) and added a gem (now that I'm looking at the close up picture I'll fix the placement of the gem!) I added a piece of Real Red grosgrain ribbon and layered my sentiment over the top of this. My sentiment was inked with markers, punched then sponged.
