Bit rushed this weekend - and I won't be around for a daylight photo tomorrow so this is it. I'm thinking I need to add a bit of bling to the sentiment tag too, but don't want to overdo it.
I loved the green, gold and white in the third of Stef's thumbnails, so that's what I went with.
A2 white card.
First of all I stamped En Francais in Versamark and embossed with clear, to give me the white I wanted on the card base. Then I stamped Medallion and embossed with gold.
First time round I sponged the whole thing with Mowed Lawn, but the medallion got a bit lost in all the green, so I had another go and sponged the centre in a lighter blue, which worked better. Lots of tiny bling plus a larger rhinestone in the centre.
Fancy Tag cut from card and embossed with gold EP. Sentiment is from TCP, and was the perfect touch of elegance to go with all the glamour on the card. Strips of gold finish off the three open edges.
IMO the medallion is crying out for a red rhinestone in the centre rather than green. Any thoughts?

Sabrina, this is beautiful and rich! I love all the bling and the gold embossed label! If anything, a darker green or a dark blue for the center, but not red!

Oooo, oooo, oooo!! So elegant and beautiful, Sabrina! I like your choices of the blue and green gemstones. The red might make it seem too Christmasy, unless that's what you'd want to use it for.
Thank you, too, for the beautiful birthday card you sent me!!! I got it today and so appreciate you remembering my birthday, dear friend.

Sabrina you have captured the essence of your inspiration piece perfectly. I love that doily stamp embossed in gold. The green is so rich and vibrant. So gorgeous-love it.
