Whiff of Joy challenge - a sketch

This week we have a fab sketch done by Gio for Whiff of Joy.  I decided to attempt an easel card after seeing Jacqui's brilliant tutorial on the Whiff of Joy  Inspirations blog.  I love the colours of these papers from the MME Signature Christmas pad, so rich and yummy. 
One one of the cream layers I ran the DP through the Cuttlebug with the holly folder then swiped a Versamark pad over the raised leaves and heat embossed with gold powder.  I also swiped the Versamark pad around the edges of the centre mat and the sentiment and heat embossed those with the gold powder as well.

The flower detail - I attacked the chipboard swirls with the Versamark pad and embossing powder again, and got out the trust Stickles to edge the flowers after spritzing them with Cosmic Shimmer Lava Red.

The beautiful gold ribbon was a RAK from my dear friend Sally, thanks sweetie xx
