A Medallion Thanks



This is the second card that I have made using the corner punch medallion method. If you take the guard off of a corner punch and line it up on a 3 1/4" Nestability circle, the middle gets punched out and you end up with a beautifully decorated circle. The gems that I attached are there 1) to look good and 2) to cover up my mismatches. I found this technique on Splitcoast Stampers in the Try a New Technique challenge forum. The original creator (that I know of) is Becca Feeken and the challenge gives you a link to a tutorial and also to her example. I also used a lot of dimensionals on the card for a good "depth" feel to it. The flower was cut off of a stem I found on clearance at Michael's.
Thanks for looking!
