Eastern Medallions - Take 2

As promised in my last post, here's another card featuring the Eastern Medallions thinlits and Eastern Beauty stamp set. I love the little enjoy today stamp. I use it a lot! If I make this card again, I think I'll emboss the sentiment. It shows up nicely using the Whisper White Craft ink, but it would really pop if it was embossed. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Berry Burst Eastern Medallions

Today I'm sharing a clean and simple card featuring the Eastern Beauty stamp set and Eastern Medallions Thinlits. I like how the stamp is curved to fit around the die cut. Colors are Berry Burst and Whisper White.

I love how when this thinlit is cut with the Big Shot, the design stays attached in the cardstock and lets the background show through. Here's a close up so you can see how cool it looks. Most of the thinlits in this set cut out normally and they look great, too, but at least one other thinlit stays attached like this one. I'll post a card using that die soon so you can see it, too.

If you want a stand alone medallion/flower, it's easy to snip the little connecting pieces between the petals like I did in the sunflower card seen here. Two uses from one great die!

Eastern Medallions Sunflower

I love this sunflower made with the Eastern Medallions Thinlits. I've seen the idea on Pinterest and in my online demo groups. You may have, too. This is my take on the idea.

The sentiment and corner images are from the Eastern Beauty.

The petals are Crushed Curry, 2 pieces offset from one another. I came up with the idea for the center myself (disclaimer: that's not to say someone else didn't, too, but I haven't seen it). I cut Soft Suede cardstock with a scalloped framelit from the Layering Circle Framelits. Then I used the stylus from my Simply Scored board to stipple it. Using a sponge dauber, I lightly applied Early Espresso ink. Hopefully it looks like the seeds that are on the center part of a sunflower. What do you think? Did I succeed? Leave a comment and let me know.

Edit: Here's how I did the inside - a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the same two stamps in the corner as on the front. Simple, but it's a nice touch to finish off the card.
