This week’s challenge at Just Add Ink is an inspiration challenge which looks like this:
Gorgeous photo!! And here is my card based on the photo:
The background layer is just some sponging on white cardstock. Then I have stamped the gorgeous Medallion in Tangerine Tango on a separate piece of white cardstock and cut all the way around it, then layered it over the sponged layer. Then I have heat embossed with black embossing powder some stalks of….. something…. 
using the Autumn Days stamp set, and the flowers are from the Vintage Vogue set. There is a thin strip of So Saffron DSP along the bottom which is a little hard to see in the photo, and a strip of Not Quite Navy cardstock which was torn along both edges.
I had a lovely box full of new goodies arrive today, so watch this space, I can’t wait to get ink on them!
Happy stamping!
Chris
This is beautiful, Chris!

You’ve really captured the essence of the photo Chris. I really like how you have the medallion emerging a bit like the sun. Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink.
