I promise I won't make another scallop edge medallion card for awhile but I couldn't resist making one for today's color challenge. I don't think I have ever thought of combing these colors before but I really love the way they look together.
My Pocket Silhouette image was inked with baja breeze ink and then I used the not quite navy marker to darken the stems and the tips of the blooms. I stamped the image on a small whisper white mat and layered it on a small not quite navy mat. The "friend" sentiment is from the Pocket Silhouette set. I inked the "friend" portion of the stamp with a not quite navy marker and stamped it to the right of the flower image.
The scallope edge medallion is created by layering punched kraft, not quite navy and baja breeze scallop punched mats. The stamped image is adhered on the the scallop edge medallion.
I adhered the large striped baja breeze designer paper mat to the not quite navy mat and pierced a border around the dp layer. I tied a length of kraft taffeta ribbon around the mats and popped them off the kraft cardbase with dimensionals. The scallop edge medallion was popped off the designer paper mat with dimensionals.

This is stunning. I like how you combined the colors for this challenge. And that triple scalloped medallion is amazing. Gives so much dimension and interest.

Hi Laurie
I saw this idea on your blog & had to make it! It's a little different, no ribbon (couldn't fit it in) and an extra row of scallop edge in white around the middle - but I love it! Here it is on SCS - see Valentine's Day card 4!
Thanks for your inspiration.
