Mint, gold and leather

The Play Date Cafe's challenge uses these colors:


I had pulled out some papers and had decided to do something with my chevron dies when my eyes saw their new logo:

Grab Our Badge!

And I changed course a bit; here is what I came up with:


supplies: white cardstock, gold paper, design papers from Echo Park's This & That by Lori Whitlock, Die-Namics Chevron Stripes die, Hero Arts CL508 Luscious Patterned Flowers, VersaMark ink and Ranger  Extra Fine Detail gold embossing powder, aqua, brown, and gold pearls

Definitely not my usual style, but it was fun seeing if I could put this together......what do you think?
