I created this 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" card before I headed to Salt Lake based on this Clean and Simple sketch challenge (FTL53). The "simple" aspect may have been lost in all my accessories. LOL. TIP: Basic Black 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon is new to the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog.
The Medallion background stamp is the #1 selling Stampin' Up! stamp right now. Gorgeous! Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Gray and Basic Black offer a crisp, formal look. Simply change the sentiment for a wedding or anniversary. Stampin' Up!'s Teeny Tiny Wishes collection of greetings makes the changeover a breeze. TIP: This set coordinates beautifully with the Modern Label Punch.
Since I need to scoot to convention, I won't be able to share a step by step virtual workshop today. However, I have listed the products and product numbers used and welcome your comments at the end of this post if you have any questions!

This is soooo pretty Mary! Love the stamps, that new punch, and your color combo turned out great!
I will never cease to be amazed at your excellence in color combinations, and this is another example. Also, your stamping is so precise with the medallion here. But SU! does make that easy, don’t they? I’ve been ho-hum about this stamp, but not any more. Congratulations on your convention adventure.
