I did get a chance to whip up a quickie for you tonight. It is a threefer for the Stamping 411 sketch challenge, the Handstamped Sentiments wedding challenge, as well as the Just Add Ink Black and White challenge. First of all here is the 411 sketch:
I like that this sketch is so simple...it made this card easy to pull together quickly...

| Card for JAI71, HSSWD & SSC207...sorry about the blurry image...not sure what's up with my camera! |

| Sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, frame from Four Frames sets...and then of course there's the Medallion! |

This was super fast and easy to put together...good thing because I had literally 15 minutes of stamping time before my husband left for the evening and I was on full-time Mommy-duty! Here is what I did:
Starting with a piece of textured basic black cardstock I stamped the medallion image using frost white shimmer paint. After it dried, I ran it through my Big Shot with my Finial Press embossing folder. I tried sponging the edge using shimmer paint...don't try it...it doesn't work! I just ended up with a gloopy mess, so I tore the edge of the cardstock to get rid of it. I then layered it on a slightly larger piece of whisper white cardstock, which I also tore to match. I wrapped a piece of white satin ribbon around and added a clear rhinestone brad. I then stamped the frame and sentiment in basic black ink on a scrap of whisper white cardstock and then punched it out with my decorative label punch. I added a row of rhinestones and adhered it to my card using dimensionals. For this inside I stamped the medallion again in basic black on whisper white cardstock and adhered it. See...told you this was a fast and easy one!
Thanks for learning not to use shimmer paint to sponge edges of cardstock! Now I don't have to try it! Nice recovery though, had you not told me it was a mistake, I'd have thought the torn edge was on purpose - good save!
