April's Make and Takes

When I was checking out some of the cards made from a Challenge from Stars and Stamps I came across one that I thought was so cute! Here is the link to the one I saw.

Here is the one we made.

This one is very simular to one I saw on Splitcoast Stampers

I have been wanting to do this medallion in a workshop for some time. Finally came across the right image to put on it. Here is the link to the tutorial on Splitcoast on how to make it.

I usually make 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 cards, but the size of the medallion called for a 5x7 card.

Thanks for looking!
