Medallion Stamping is a simple way to make a very effective “special occasion” card.
There are dozens of different Medallions available either to buy or rent. As well as the usual mandala shape (as in the picture) there are Eggs, Crosses, Butterflies and Boxes.
Start by choosing some different colours of card. Any colour you like; brights, pastels, shades of the same colour, subtle patterns, anything. Decide how many layers you would like on your card then, using an embossing ink such as Versamark, ink up your stamp and stamp your first layer.
Sprinkle embossing powder over the image and tip off the excess, then heat what’s left with a heat gun until it melts (only a few seconds). Repeat this until you have enough for your required number of layers.
Cut out your layers just outside the embossed lines, making each one smaller than the last, then apply glue and glitter to the parts that will be seen on each layer.
Stick double sided foam pads to the back of all but the largest piece and layer them up. Attach the completed Medallion to a suitable card and you have a special card for a special person.
