This is my first FS challenge, I always intend to try one, but all the cards I like end up being SC cards.
Anyway, I really like the layout of this card:
I changed the stamps used, the colors and embellishments, but kept the cute layout.
I don't yet have a die cut machine so the black scalloped border is the circle scallop punch cut into 4-scallop sections and glued onto the back. The background was done with a stamp from SU Simply Circles in Craft White and embossed. I thought it went nicely with the bubbles in the corner punch.
Just an added note, I was disappointed in the Bubble Corner Punch, it will not punch all the way through card stock, only DP or thinner. Not sure if it's just the one I happened to get, or if they're all that way.

Terrific job. I am so glad you joined in. The medallion you made is super. I love that corner punch. It looks so good. Great coloring. The scalloped punch is terrific on the back of your circle. Really well done. Thanks so much for playing on my FS day.

Oh I really like how your medallion turned out!1 It looks like your punch may have been an embossing punch; I've noticed that with a couple of my embossing punches that they tend to work better with DP and leave ugly edges with card stock.
