Just Add Ink #45

What I love about Stampin' Up! products, is often they lend themselves to different occasions. For example, this designer paper, Love Letter I have used on this Christmas card, for the weekly Just Add Ink challenge.
For the flower, I have used the new XL Scallop Circle punch, and have sprayed them with the Gold Glow smooch spritz. The scallops have been put together with an Antique Brad.

Here is the sketch for the Just Add Ink challenge:
