Medallion Styled Card

Good morning all!  How about a simple brown and white card in a medallion style?  Of course you could pick any colour you like if you aren't a "brown" lover (I had this ribbon that I wanted to use and it was brown so that's how I picked the colour!) I started with the background card and embossed it with the grid mask design for texture.  I cut the largest size of Labels 22 in brown for the back piece of the focal element.  That was topped with a teardrop circle in white cut into a frame.  I cut a small size of the picot edged circle in white to fit inside the teardrop frame.
The large anemone flower was next up and I cut two of them and removed the centre from each of the petals then offset the two flowers.  Finally, I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the smallest size of teardrop circle and mounted it in the centre.  I ruched the brown ribbon from the top of the card to the focal element.  I tied a bow and attached it to the top of the ruching.  I completed the card with pearl PVA glue dots around the edge to frame it. 
I have had quite a few emails about my Create and Craft schedule and I thought that I would let you that I am going to be back doing the POTW shows beginning on Friday February 24th at noon.  I don't have the schedule of each show yet but you should be able to check their website for that closer to the shows.  I will tell you now that I will be showing the brand new Spellbinder winter release dies on the POTW.  Let me just say they are stunning!  I am hoping that it won't be too much longer before I can show you some sneak peeks of the new cards I've been working on.  Just a little tease, there are new products, new stamps and new dies! I am so excited!  All for now, Sue x
