First up is more of a clean and modern look... I was going for a jeweled medallion idea here, by pairing the medallion circle with the frame (from For The Graduate, used with the coordinating Mat Stack #1 Die) and rhinestones.
By using clear rhinestones, I was able to use my Copic Markers to color them the exact color I was looking for.
Next, a classic and elegant look...
The flourished frame is a perfect match to the new Mat Stack #1 Die. So, I used the die to cut a negative space and stamp the frame image into.
Embossed the die negative with Argyle Impression Plate, attached the butterfly circle and sentiment (from the Anniversary Set) onto the center of the frame and embellished with a butterfly and rhinestones (colored using Copics to match).
Hope you enjoyed the cards and thanks for stopping by! Have a great start to your week!
