Papertrey February Blog Hop Challenge

It's Time for Papertrey's February  Blog Hop Challenge, and here is the inspiration photo. 
Feb Blog Hop Inspiration

While I love the rich colours in the photo, I found it a bit heavy for a card, but gave it a whirl, anyways. Here is my take on the photo. I used Garland Garland to cut out the wreath in Gold Cardstock, and the flowers in various shades of pinks and purples. I heat embossed the sentiment (from Graceful Greetings ll) in gold, right on the Smokey Shadow card base. And you see the fig seeds in the photo? That's why I put all the dots around the wreath! Lol.
I apologize for the horrible photo...I sure wish I had put a different background behind the card, and used a better camera than what my iPad has, but I have to get this posted!!

    Kathryn, your gold wreath with the shades of pink and purple flowers looks dynamite! Can't go wrong with the font of Graceful Greetings either. Awesome card!
