"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!"
~ Psalm 27:13-14

MEDALLION SNOWFLAKE / SSSC #46, EIC #64 & VSNOV09c...


Doesn't this Medallion stamp look like a giant snowflake? I just love it...




I decided to get an early jump on the Sweet Sunday Sketch, I usually wait until the last minute! I also decided to play along with a new-to-me challenge, EtsyInspired. They feature an Etsy shop & you browse around it for your inspration! Very cool! This is also the third challenge for the Verve Blog Party.


Here's what I used for the 3rd Verve challenge...

V - Velvet ribbon
E - Embossing powder
R - Rhinestones
V - Vellum
E - Embossing (dry)


The stamp is called Medallion from Stampin' Up! I recently viewed a demo by Shelli Gardner (SU!'a founder & CEO) at the Cincinnati Regional Seminar where she clear embossed the Medallion & then sponged ink onto it... so here's my take on it ~ too easy! I placed a few clear rhinestones on it and the velvet ribbon to add a little bling appeal. The vellum square I ran through the Big Shot with an embossing plate. Lastly, I added a little retired sentiment to the bottom right corner & embossed it in silver.


2 more to go, will I make it?
