Well, it looked better in my head, but... this is it. I used the ever so popular Baroque Motifs as my new set to showcase. However, it just didn't work out as well. I was inspired by this ribbon and I should have used a different color cardstock as the main background. I also tried the embossed medallion which is a neat technique. TFL!

That ribbon is so perfect with this set Deborah. I think the cardstock looks just fine. I love the metal medallion too. I have to remember to try that.

nice idea..I think what makes it look stiff is the flourish...maybe if we saw more ends and curls. Right now, it almost looks like you have 4 boxes in your background. (make sense?) But over all...really neat!

The medallion is very stunning, lovely card.

The medallion worked very nicely for the embossed technique. I just taught the technique at a class a few weeks ago, but had trouble finding a great stamp to use. This one works very well!
