Sharon Johnson creates the most elegant and exquisite cards! She is truly one of my biggest inspirations.
For this card, I chose to emboss the birds and swirls folder onto linen vellum (PTI). I colored a few berries with a fine tip gold paint pen. The sentiment is embossed in gold ep. I bought the chocolate, aqua and gold wide ribbon at Michaels.

Sara, this is beautiful!! I love the way the dry embossing looks on the linen vellum and your little gold accents on the berries are a wonderful touch! That ribbon is so rich, it looks fabulous! Wonderful card for Sharon's challenge
