This my first entry to this particular challenge, so I hope it fits the criteria. It was the eighth attempt to achieve something I liked and could use. At least three of them ended up in the bin as totally trashed. Two others got partially reused to create more medallions. The base card is a white textured A5 card, folded in half. I put things together and printed it using My Craft Studio. The rose background came from Crafters Companion's Rose Flower Fairy, which I cropped to fit the bottom third of the card (front and back). The border across the middle came from My Craft Studio (Papercraft Library) which I adjusted for size and changed the colour to tone with the background. The medallion also came from the Rose Flower Fairy collection, and was edged with Krylon Red Shimmer pen. The sentiment across the bottom was also printed at the same time as the rest, and then I went over it with a Sakura Bronze Sparkle pen to intensify the words.
PS I am having problems today, getting my photos to show up on my blog. In fact I had to go from using Firefox back to Internet Explorer to get to see it myself. The original sketch is showing up but not my card. I hope you have enough patience to find it.
