Flower Star Medallion Card

A few days ago I shared a digital image I created using a vintage image I got from Twisted Papers (here is a LINK to that post).

This is the full 12 x 12 page image.  I copied, pasted and resized my final image to create a sheet of images that I could print at home (I do not have a wide format printer).

Here is a screen shot of the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of images I created to use for cards.  The small images are 2 1/4 inches and the larger images are 3 3/4 inches.

I cut out several layers for my medallion.  The lace background is a 3 1/4 inch square piece of Core'dinations Gemstone cardstock.  This is the smallest size that will work for the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page corner and border punch sets. 

Here is a LINK to the page on the Martha Stewart site where you can watch a video showing exactly how to use the punch sets.

The Core'dinations Gemstone cardstock punched beautifully.  The punch set I used is called "Double Loops."  I used large foam squares to raise up the entire medallion - this gives an interesting shadow effect.

I rounded the corners of my digital image with my Creative Memories corner rounder.  The degree of rounding does not exactly match the punch result.  The red layer is just a bit larger to help the digital image pop and it covered the tiny areas with the slightly different curve.

I haven't added a sentiment.  This could be used as a notecard as it is (with a light color paper liner) or you could add a sentiment near the bottom of the card.  I would probably cut a sentiment with my Cricut in the same cardstock as the lace medallion.
