Paper and Fiber Arts: Kraft, Black, and White Medallion Card

Kraft, black, and white are a gorgeous combination. It is gender-neutral, striking, and fun to use for card-making. Actually, I also used it when scrapbooking and still use it in my journaling and mixed media projects. It is a good go-to combination. Adding a pop of color takes it up a notch - see the green die-cut sentiment on the card at the bottom of the post for an example.

The medallion is sold with a suggested illustration of layering the three die cuts. I did that but added additional layers and turned the die a bit for a more robust, stacked design. The card above has a stamped and heat-embossed sentiment from the Altenew Tranquility Rose set.

When determining the layout of a card I audition the components prior to adhering them. I think this configuration works well because there are three sections to the card front. The heaviness of the two medallion shapes is balanced by a large sentiment, even though the lettering is thin. I love this modern font. Unfortunately, "sending hugs" is a retired CTMH die. Do you have a favorite die?
