The Ashes Series

Create a stunning image of a medal for The Ashes Series, featuring a circular design with a diameter of 3 inches, crafted from polished silver with intricate gold accents. The medal should display a textured surface, symbolizing the fierce competition, and be suspended from a deep crimson ribbon, adorned with subtle gold stripes. Engrave the words "The Ashes Champion" in an elegant font on the front, surrounded by embossed motifs of a cricket bat and ball, intertwined with laurel leaves. The color scheme should incorporate rich reds, golds, and silvers, reflecting the prestige of the series. Illuminate the medal with a soft, dramatic lighting that casts gentle shadows, set against a blurred background of a cricket field at sunset, enhancing the focus on the medal. Capture the image from a slightly elevated perspective to emphasize the details and craftsmanship, creating a sense of grandeur and celebration.
