My card today was made using the Medallion Stamp with Concord Crush Ink and Card Stock. I'm not sure this picture does the color justice, but it's a beautiful, rich purple. It's one of the five new In Colors.
I inked the stamp and stamped off once before lining up a Scallop Circle die cut over the image to get a lighter image for the outside edges. Then I cut a 2 1/4" circle with my Circle Scissor Plus and placed it over the inked center of the stamp to create the darker center. The button I used to embellish the center is just an extra I had in my sewing box.
Creating is always sort of trial and error for me. I'm thinking next time it would be quicker and easier to stamp the medallion image directly onto the square piece of Whisper White Card Stock instead of the Scallop Circle.
