This card is for PTI's June bloghop "A Touch of Gold". To make the medallion, I scanned in my Lovely Layers set, then used Silhouette Studio to trace, replicate & rotate a particular image 3 times. I then welded these together & added an offset outline. I cut it out, stamped & embossed it, then wound gold thread around to create the 'net' pattern.

My favourite part of the card, however, is the glossy faux brads. The small ring stamp from Boxes, Bags & Tags was stamped in versamark & embossed with gold. I coloured it using a blender pen with the same inks as the medallion, then punched it out with a 1/4" hole punch. After sticking in place on the card I added glossy accents for the final touch. The embossed rim enabled me to spread the gloss around with a pin without going over the edge.
Am also entering this for Less is More this week, although I'm not entirely sure it's quite 'less' enough!

Jenny - no photos? This same thing happened to Hannelie (Desert Diva) yesterday - not sure if she's resolved it but she may be able to give you some advice.
ReplyDeleteWow! You just showed me a whole level of Silhouette that I guess I knew existed but didn't realize people were actually doing. So cool - especially 'scanning in' the stamp set - that's a whole new set of possibilities! Love what you've done with the gold twine!
ReplyDeleteWOW. This is so bright and fun. I love how you were so creative with your Silhouette. I can see I need one for my birthday, not Christmas! Great card. Bev
