Peach|Gold|Blush

Hello friends!
I am back again to share my second take for the WCMD challenge at Winnie and Walter. I told you, I was really excited about them, right ? :D
Here's a look at my card, first :
I've played along Gayatri's color combination challenge on W & W blog which was to use the color palette of using Peach, gold and blush. I really loved these colours but it was very challenging to create a card only with these colours. After a lot of false start, I decided to stamp and colour my flowers and leaves using a combination of Hero Arts Fresh Peach Mid-Tone Shadow ink and heat-embossing the leaves and the flower outline with Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder. The background I have created using a stencil and Distress ink- Spun Sugar to give that blush touch to my card. 

Th sentiment is a combination of a die and sentiment stamp from Winnie and Walter. I die-cut the 'thanks' die-cut with gold glitter washi tape and it really sparkles in real life. Unfortunately, not able to capture it on camera. :( Those sequins you see scattered around were actually a gift from Winnie and Walter. :)

Supplies used :
Cardstock- Fabriano white cardstock.
Dies- Simon Says Stamp' Thanks' die
Stamps -Penny Black Petal Power stamp set, Winnie and Walter 'The Big, The Bold and You' stamp set.
Inks- Hero Arts Fresh Peach Mid-Tone Shadow ink, Distress Ink Spun Sugar, Versamark stamp pad.
Accessories- Heidi Swapp Polka Dots stencil, Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder, Sequins, Gold glitter tape (Used for die-cutting).

Challenges entered :
Addicted to CAS -Stencil
Crafty Boots- Gold
House of Cards- Punches and Dies -I have used the 'Thanks' die from SSS.
Inspired by Stamping- Gold
