What a fun challenge, Steph! Thanks for posting early. I was already working on this for a challenge, and it fit right in I can't link directly to it, but it's under High Count and is called Fern.
.
This is also for an FCD challenge to use a stamp set in an atypical way. I used a Holiday set, Season's Greetings and made a Spring/Summer medallion card w/ it.
I used the same pigment ink to stamp all images, but I alternated with 3 different embossing powders.
After embossing, I cut out the ornaments and arranged them, using foam tape between the center and first layer and between layers 1 and 2. A little color was added to the center snowflake medallion with markers.
For the white background, I used a pale green marker direct on the rubber and stamped the snowflake repeatedly. The bottom edge was punched with an embossing border punch. It's attached to printed paper and then a white card. The tiny rhinestones were attached with craft glue.
The sentiment Birthday Wishes set) was also embossed and cut out with a Nestabilities tag die. The buckles are also Nesties. I added a little color with a marker and inserted them under the sentiment.
Thanks so much for looking
