I think this is my favorite thing I've made this month! I used Daydream Medallions embossed with white EP on Tangerine Tango and Island Indigo cardstock, and the center piece is cut from a piece of Sycamore Street DSP (Sale-a-Bration exclusive!). I did not come up with that brilliant idea however; I found it on Lynn Weiss's blog and couldn't wait to try it myself! That design from the patterned paper fits perfectly in the medallion stamp. I put a Daffodil Delight brad in the center; surprisingly enough, it makes a pretty good match to the Summer Starfruit ribbon. I think the only way I'd like this card better is if I could magically make the Rich Razzleberry parts on the DSP be Island Indigo instead to match the rest of the card, but I'm still pleased with it as-is.
The sketch is from Create with Connie and Mary and I'm kind of in love with it:
Click on that link above and look at Mary's card (second one down). I can't *wait* to get Swallowtail in my hot little hands so I can CASE that card!!! Wow, I just realized how many exclamation points I've used in this post. I'm gonna go over my monthly allotment if I'm not careful...
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful day!
