I am familiar with today's Inspiration site - Grandin Road as I have this Bessie art hanging in my dining room (people either hate it or love it - I love it!)
I used 3D Medallian cut/emboss dies for the circles, cutting them out of core-dinations paper and rubbing Gold Luster Wax over them as well as the frame and thank you which are cut out of watercolor paper.
It took me the longest time to find the DP I wanted for the background - finally liking the look of this piece from Tim Holtz Christmas papers.
I layered 2 thank you die cuts together to make it more study.
The frame, thank you and 2 of the medallions are up on foam dots.

Super looking card and I sure do see your inspiration in it. All the gold lustre really makes the designs in your medallions pop and adds an antique look to the framing.

What a great card! The gold luster really enhances these lovely medallions. The distressed framing gives your card a really nice rustic/antique look. TFS.

This is gorgeous, Julia! I love your medallions & the weathered looking frame is wonderful. I also love your rainbow cow print. I would totally hang that over the mantle.

Your medallions are gorgeous, Julia. You're a lot better at rubbing gold luster wax on your embossing than I am! So much beautiful definition. You found just the right paper for your background. Stunning card.
