sHADES of BLUE
Thank you Chrissie and Mandi for another great challenge.
It's my friend's birthday tomorrow and yesterday I made her a card using my new super duper Stampin' Up Medallion stamp. This is a pretty big stamp and I have to say it's not the easiest to get a solid crisp image with. I've tried all types of ink and paper (and stamping on a mouse mat etc) and the best results seem to be with Stampin Up ink and SU Whisper White card. I made my friend a pink one ....
so I thought I'd just do the same again in blue but unfortunately I don't have any blue SU ink so the image is not as perfect as I would like ....
There's a space on this one for a small sentiment but I'm leaving it blank for the meantime.
Stamp - Stampin' Up Medallion

Stunning cards Suze - I love this SU medallion. Both colours are fabulous but I think my favourite is probably the blue option. Hope you're having a happy weekend - hugs, Sylvia xxx

A hug from Palma
Absolutely wonderful!! I adore this stamp and it lends itself to so many possibilities!
this is fab :)
I love this stamp and was tempted to use it for this challenge. But, I had to make a birthday card for a boy urgently so changed tack. I love how you inked these cards.
Lovely.
cheers,

oh, these are just beautiful cards, loved the way you used this stamp!
Beautiful, elegant cards. Love the colours. Hugs, Valerie
I don't use the Medallion stamp enough, you've inspired me to get it out again! Lovely cards and both colour schemes work so well.
I didn't have any SU! blues before the colour renovation as I didn't really like any aside from the navy ones - Ballet Bleurgh, * shudder * If you want a recommendation - Marina Mist and Baja Breeze are wonderful colours. I also have Pacific Point but it's a tad intense and I like it but don't love it like I do Marina Mist and Baja Breeze.
A beautiful card - sorry cardssss, love the stamp
Great idea to use the medallion stamp - love it.

Great card! The blue one is my favourite.
That medallion is just fabulous. I love it in the pink and blue! Ann
Love your stamp and looks great in both colours. Thank you for popping by my blog, you really should give the promarker thing a try is a lot easier than I thought, to be honest the hardest part was creating the picture with the stamps hehe :)
Brilliant card, love the stamping!

I like the 'worn' effect of the blue on the card gives it an antique look
Brilliant stamping! xx

Love love love this stamp!! Both of your cards are fabulous...but I am definitely partial to the pink. The blue looks good sort of anitque.
Wow! Do I love this stamp or what? I can't pick between either, they are both fantabulous!
Good Morning Suze, Beautiful cards, I love that huge medallion stamp it's gorgeous in pink and blue, good job, Gay xxx
I think it's stunning and the fact that it's not a perfectly crisp image on the blue one gives it more character. I'm told the trick to getting crisp images from large stamps is to ink up the stamp, lay it on it's back and lay the paper/card on top then press all over with your hands - but don't quote me lol
thanks for your lovely comment about my video, might have to make some more :)
