Glittery Medallion

I'm not sure what it is....but I love making square cards. Maybe it's because they can be symmetrical and I seem to like that. This card uses a large celtic rosette from http://www.therubbercafe.com/. I stamped it with Stazon ink on acetate. Then with Art Institute glitters (100. Sea Shell, 208. Fauna, 119. Cranberry), I glittered the back of the acetate. This produces a really glitzy card with none of the mess that usually comes with glitter. I glue-dotted the rosette to a circle of ecru cardstock.

The red layer is actually a scrap of photo paper that I applied Tim Holtz's alcohol inks to. (Cranberry and Espresso) I then dabbed a bit of alcohol on it to further break up the inks. I distressed the edge of the panel with black stazon ink.

The white layer has been edged with Fiskar's Threading Water edge punch. Ribbon is by May Arts and is gorgeous!
