The inspiration for this card came from Simply Made by Wendy. I thought her design was simple and stunning! I kept the layout and measurements the same for my first attempt makering her card using Stampin' Up! products.
However, I felt that there was too much white space above and below the medallions. There was no place for the eye to rest. I also noticed that Wendy's medallion image was larger than the one in the Moroccan Nights stamp set.
For my second attempt, I reduced the width of the Whisper White cardstock. Decreasing the white space above and below the medallion image helped bring my focus into the center of the card. I'm much happier with the second attempt. I also used a thinlit for the sentiment instead of a stamp for a bit of whimsy.
The medallion image is a great way to show off your favorite colors! Here I used So Saffron, Pool Party, and Peekaboo Peach. As the weather gets warmer, I like more vibrant, cheery colors, but I bet this card would be great in deeper, jewel tone colors like Elegant Eggplant and Emerald Envy!
Check out what fantastic cards my group made. Which one is your favorite?
