I made a Christmas card, my first this year.
For the base of my card I made a Recessed window and put a medallion with beads in the center of the window.
I kept this medallion for years in my "to do" drawer as it keeps you busy for quite a while!
You can find the template for the Recessed window here : Recessed Window Template by judylb at Splitcoaststampers

Oh wow - that bead medallion is quite amazing, and your rich colours are wonderful. I know how much time it takes to make beaded animals - I've never tried anything as complex as this.
