Decorative Circle Medallion

KC Neighborhood 

The Technique Lover's Challenge on SCS was to create a decorative circle medallion. You can see a great tutorial here by Becca Stamps. It is so much easier than it looks.

I wanted to use my medallion as a frame for a little snow scene. I used a Rubbernecker KK Original image called The Neighborhood and a tree image from Kittie Kits The Moose is Loose.  I stamped trees with on either side of where the houses would be, masked them off and then stamped the neighborhood image with Brilliance Black. I masked off the houses and then stamped trees in the background. I watercolored the houses with reinker, water and a brush. I sponged in the sky area and then applied * Liquid Applique' and heated to create a snowy winter scene. I used my ever faithful "free" sandwich baggy of dried rice to create the non descript background for the medallion and card base. I used the snowflake Cuttlebug folder to create my border layer.  This was a fun project.  I got a little carried away with Liquid Applique'  but it was fun.  You can click on the photo to see a larger image.

Here a few other fun projects that I did over the weekend.

KC Wreath 

This was for the Ways to Use It challenge to create a project with some type of cracking.  I used Distress Crackle Paint to create the faux wood door panel.  It looks real, doesn't it? The Wreath is from Rubbernecker Winter Holiday Collection.

KC The Moose is Loose 6  

This project was my interpretation of the Inspiration Challenge on SCS. The inspiration art was from artist Don Li-Leger. His artwork is wonderful. I used Rubbernecker Kittie Kits The Moose is Loose and two different snow images and pine sprig from the Rubbernecker Winter Holiday Collection.

This project was for the Limited Supply Challenge to use a stamp or stamps and disguise them as something else.  Sometimes you just have to have a good sense of humor and step out of your comfortable box. That is what I did with this card. I used a pumpkin, leaf and gourd image to create a turkey sitting on the ground.  I know…I know….you can barely tell what it is.  I used the same images and created a pumpkin patch scene behind the turkey for interest.  I put a close up below so you could see the image better.  Hey…..I tried. The stamps are from Stampin' Up! Autumn Harvest.

  1. My goodness, I love love love your medallion card with the little snow scene…! I’d really like an orchid for Christmas – our friend says we have a perfect place to grow one just off our front porch, and they grow so well here. Thanks for the chance to win!

  2. I adore your work–every project is better than the last!!! I really don’t have a Christmas list–I just want job stability for my DH so we can free our minds. I am trying to do a homemade Christmas for everyone this year. Thank you.

  4. Your medallion is beautiful, but I’m particularly impressed with the wreath on the door! You are so talented – I think you could make a beautiful card with ANY stamp set! Thanks for being such an inspiration!
    Btw – top of my Christmas list is inkpads (all I have is black) and heavy colored cardstock. 😀 Any a convertible would be nice, too!!!!

  5. Kittie, all four of these cards are such fabulous inspiration! You and I are thinking alike, I want to do a poinsettia to place behind the round disc. Your scene is beautiful!

  6. They’re all gorgeous as usual Kittie, but I’m intrigued with the pumpkin/turkey card. I haven’t even thought of what I want for Christmas yet to be honest. As of now, I would have to say to be healthy. Last year I was so sick I couldn’t enjoy it.

  12. I do love the medallion card and it is almost time for snow in most places, but we seldom get it in Texas. However, the foliage is really pretty this year. As for the chance to win the candy, I have just one thing I want for Christmas. I want just one thing for Christmas: I want and need an heat embossing gun. I hope Santa is listening, too! Thanks for all you do and share. Linda Crowder

  13. I guess what I want most is a a calm and peaceful season with family and friends. I would love to see a Christmas with gifts of the heart instead of material things we may not even need or want.

  14. Gorgeous cards, Kittie! I particularly like the one based on the Don Li-Leger print. I don’t have a Christmas wish list but I guess at the top of my own list to purchase would be the new label nestibilities from Spellbinder. Thanks.

  15. My goodness, Kittie!
    I’m not at all sure where to start! I’m so in awe of the depth of your scenes … I love the look achieved within Becca’s medallion challenge! However, the snow, the pumpkins, the ‘quilted’ look that I often leave behind .. I find beautiful inspiration in all directions!
