To be honest I think I over did it on this card by adding too many elements, but I'm still going to give it to someone. If I made it again I'd simplify.
I wanted to play around with my washi tape so I created the little panel to look a bit like patterned cardstock. It's just the same design in 2 different colors. The panel is popped up for a bit of dimension.
The medallion stamp is from Papertrey Ink's Mehndi Medallion Mini set. The detail it has is really breathtaking. I added a bunch of Irock gems to various spots in the medallion. It adds lots of sparkle.
The ribbon is from Papertrey ink. I put it around the card base, and then again around the popped up washi panel in the same spot to give the look of a clean line even though with the layering it's obvious the ribbon is not all one piece.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Happy for You set. I just love the font and thought it went well with the elegant medallion.
A few more I rock gems in the bottom left and I was all done.
There's my little creation for today. I think this sentiment is a good just because card for a friend. It's nice to say something a little different once in awhile instead of always using the same phrases.
