More Medallion cards

Here are 2 more medallion cards. Instead of layering, I stamped on transparency then applied glitter. You need a fine tip to apply the glue to the various sections. Also important is to apply the lightest coloured glitter first so there is no contamination from darker colours. Using transparency gives a jewel like appearance, its very pretty. Unfortunately, its also difficult to photograph. In the top card, I used quite a few colours of glitter and in the bottom card I only used 3 colours.

  2. Wow Shanti! this is awesome , How do you do it? It's a pleasure visiting your blog.
    I use a scale and a paper cutter and with practice you can cut strips of equal width. In the beginning I used to mark at the edges of the paper at regular intervals and then use a scale and cut with the marks as reference . Cutting paper is good , we can get colours not available in pre-cut strips.

  3. Thanks As. Its really very easy to do. Hardest part is the stamping as it is a bit slippery on the transparency.xx

  4. Thanks Suganthi, also for your answer re paper cutting. I guess with practice, I will get better :) As to the medallion its dead easy, once you've stamped the design, work out what colours and where you want it. Then its a case of carefully applying glue to the various parts and adding the glitter. xx

  9. Hi Ally ... am loving BOTH these medallion cards!
    The first has an English-country 'feel' to it, the second - simply marvellous - an exotic or Mid-Eastern 'touch'!

  10. Thanks Pattieboo, you are right, it does have a mid-eastern touch, never thought of it.xx
