Elegant Free as a Bird Card featuring the Many Medallions Dies

For today's card, I wanted to make a more elegant card that highlighted a few elements - the Many Medallions dies and the Stampin' Blends. I love coloring with the Blends and use them on so many projects. I thought I would show a project that would demonstrate how to use them in a simple image with a few but not too many colors so as to not overwhelm. I loved the simplicity of the card I created and it was fun to create with Terracota Tile and Purple Posy. The same layout with a different color gives off a different flair despite the similarities.

I have included the materials needed to created the cards below if you are interested! The video tutorial should help with any questions you may have on the steps needed to create the card. Let me know in the comments which color scheme you prefer and which you might try.
