I gold embossed the image & did some loose watercoloring with Zigs. I added gold Stickles & used a panel of Classic Kraft for the mat. 
The same Zigs were used to watercolor the sentiment from the same set & I mounted it with foam tape.
The PFS WCMD Challenges are open until the 11th. So far I've made 3 cards--each for 2 of the challenges. I entered Challenge 3 Stripes & Challenge 9 CAS through IG with this card using 3 images from Dainty Blossoms--one of my favorite die sets! 
I colored them with 3 Copics which I also used to color 3 stripes cut with the Color Block Stripes die. Great way to use up some of my white scraps. The sentiment from Delicate Wreath was stamped in Memento Toffee Crunch & I added Wedding Dress Pico Embellisher dots. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground.
Next is my entry for Challenge 2 Thank You & Challenge 7 Rainbow. I used one of my newest dies, Layered Wreath. I die cut the wreath from white cardstock & the separate little pieces from vellum.
The little flowers included in the set were colored with Copics, arranged in groups of 3 & embellished with a dot of Wedding Dress Pico Embellisher. I attached the wreath to a square of vellum & stamped the sentiment from Delicate Wreath. I'm also entering Double D.
Last is my entry for Challenge 5 Slimline cards & Challenge 6 No Stamping. I used Slim Braided Circles Panel die, Classic Holiday Words dies & Christmas Wishes patterned papers. 
I've been hoarding the paper pad for a long time, but fun to use some of the papers for this card. The top layer of the words was die cut from red glitter tape & the shadow from vellum. 
Finished off with Wedding Dress Pico Embellisher. I'm also entering Allsorts.
Goodness me, a real bumper post Greta. The gold embossing on the Poinsettia is lovely, I really should remember do use it more often and your blue Holly is insired.
