With Thanks

I'm trying to play along with CD Sunday each week and this week their challenge is the simple one of "Thank You".  I had already printed the lovely pansy wreath from Jane Shasky's In the Garden several times with the intention of decoupaging it.  I printed out the sentiment that matched it and now it works for the challenge - perfect!  There are three layers of flowers on the wreath.  I have just got a raspberry plate for my Grand Calibur so that I can use large embossing folders (well actually it's an albino raspberry as it's a lookalike plate!) and I used an embossing folder that I got at the NEC in March.  I used some gilding wax rubbed onto the embossing to give it a shine, not sure how well it shows in the photo.  A few brads and some ribbon complete the card.
I'm also entering my card for:
Pile it On - embossing
Totally Gorjuss - spring shades
Card Crafters Circle - dieing to impress (I chose to emboss)
Blogger's Challenge - emboss me
Delightful Challenges - round up
