TCC210 Give Thanks Medallion

 

Hi Friends!

It’s time for our #210 {Pumpkin Season} Challenge at The Card Concept!

Fall in the Northeast US is my favorite time of year!  The colors of the leaves as they change, the crispness of the air and the fruits of the harvest are all signs of the change of season.

I was inspired by the colors of the pumpkins as well as the black and white checked patterns for my Clean and Layered/Mixed Media card!

I decided to pull out another retired Stampin’ Up! set, Frosted Medallions for the main image and the sentiment is from the retired Verve stamp set, Scripture Medley 3.

I also was able to incorporate a few stitched circles dies, especially, the “wonky” stitched circle die (which I have owned for years and rarely used). I am still striving to create cards using some of my older dies, stamps, paper, etc. :-)

I enjoy participating with online challenges and will be participating with the Cards 4 Galz #235 Circles Challenge and the Inspire.Create Stamping #178 Autumn/Halloween Challenge.

I hope you will take a moment to visit our challenge blog to see how the rest of the Design Team were inspired as well as check out the other challenge galleries to see their gorgeous creations!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of the Sunset Ink Drops 6x6 paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the Frosted Medallions image with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared paper, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut with a stitched circle die.

Die cut a piece of white cardstock with a “wonky” stitched circle die, layer the embossed image onto the white circle.

De-static a piece of black cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment with Versamark ink, stamp onto the lower left-hand area of the cardstock, apply extra fine white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Trim the black sentiment panel to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”, add the strip of black checked gingham ribbon (wrapping the ends behind the panel).

Adhere the entire black panel onto a white card base.

Mount the layered circle focal image onto the card front with dimensional foam.

To finish off the card, add the black checked double bow and a pearl to the center of the medallion.
