Golden Christmas

Welcome to my mid-month inspiration for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra.  We are a month long, anything Christmas related goes challenge.  Our sponsor is the fabulous Bugaboo Stamps and the winner will receive 7 images of their choice.  Here is my inspiration card for you:
 I am not usually a big fan of gold, but I have to say how much I love how this card turned out.  The sentiment is embossed in this gorgeous sparkly gold powder and the gold matting just really sets off the pink.  And I spritzed some gold mist on the poinsettia.  You can see that in the photo below.  I didn't have any gold pearls so I colored some white pearls with my gold paint pen.  Perfect match!

Challenges:
Sister Act Card Challenge #110--anything goes
Brown Sugar #150--In the garden (poinsettias do grow in some gardens)
C.R.A.F.T. #315--Christmas
Southern Girls--ticking, tacking, toeing (I used the patterned paper, gold, die cuts column)
Inspiration Destination #37--anything goes
Penny's Paper #231--Favorite Embellishment (ribbons and pearls are my favorites)
Addicted To Stamps #148--holiday
Crafty Creations #291--embossing
Crafter's Cafe #120--anything goes
Crafting By Designs--use patterned paper and the sketch

Word Art Wednesday #187--anything goes with uplifting sentiment

Top Tip Tuesday--Cut it out (I used a die for the poinsettia and scissors to cut the banner)
Fantastic Tuesday--let's see some bling
Scrapper's Delight #45--anything goes
Christmas Card Challenge #28--anything goes

Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Peace on Earth"
