Now that I've been able to confirm which card it is... I thought I'd give it a post here! It was one of my sketch cards for stamping 411! Way cool! Here's the original post..

No, really, it's very simple.
Sometimes I think it's actually easier to make a card with more embellishments. It takes a certain amount of self control and discipline to know when to stop.. That can be the fine line between good design and disaster!
With that in mind, my creation this week uses 3 different stamp sets.. Chalk pastels, sponges, a chocolate chip ink pad, and crystal effects with a paint brush...
I started with a piece of cardstock measuring 3.5" x 4.75" I stamped the new medalion background stamp with versamark. I then took a stamping sponge and picked up three different colors of chalk pastels and used a swiffer~dry cloth to remove any excess.

I applied the crystal effects liberally, and let it dry overnight.
