The card base is Close to Cocoa, and I cut the base in the same way, using the Scallop circle bigshot die to cut a card from a folded piece of A5 cardstock. I stamped the Medallion background using Close to Cocoa ink - it's a match made in heaven size wise!! And if you were thinking a little more deeply than I was at the time, you could probably line up the points on the Medallion with the bumps on the Scallop much better!!
Over this, I have cut a 3" circle out of Kiwi Kiss cardstock, and sponged the edges. A slightly smaller circle of Really Rust was also cut on the circle Scissor, 2 3/4" - also sponged.
I had a thought of using the 1 3/4" circle as a "moon" backdrop for the cutest little owl, from the "Fox and Friends" stamp set. He's inked up simply in plain Chocolate Chip, and is perched on a branch cut from Old Olive using the 2 Step Bird punch. A snippet of Kiwi Kiss striped grosgrain was the finishing touch. I didn't add one to this card, but a sentiment from the "Teeny Tiny Sentiments" set would look just fine under the branch.
Hope you like it, there's another to follow that I like even more, still working on lots of Mark III for my Convention Swap - only one more sleep before I head into the city to stay at a hotel ready for a bright and early start on Friday morning!!
