I made this card for my SIL's birthday. I CASED it from page 5 of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. I loved the layout with the medallion and I loved the combo of old olive and sahara sand.
I did change it up a bit, I added some close to cocoa, ribbon, and a seperate sentiment panel. I also layered the medallion and added some distressing.
The medallion was stamped on sahara sand cs in old olive ink twice. I used the 1-3/4" circle punch to punch out the center of the circle. I used one of the images from circle circus to put in the pewter build-a-brad. I used my distressing tool (from the cutter kit) on the inner circle panel, the cocoa mat, and the sentiment panel. I also sponged around the edges of all of the panels with close to cocoa ink. I made the sentiment panel using the big shot, Movers & Shapers Punch Windows, and the modern label punch. The sentiment panel is up on dimensionals, as is the inner circle layer. The ribbon is from the retired Beachfront ribbon originals.
Thanks for looking!
