Treasured Medallion and a sketch challenge

Today's cards feature the stamp set Treasured Medallion. 

Both cards are on seaside spray base.  

The first card uses the sand & sea dsp.  The medallion is stamped on pretty peacock in versamark and embossed with white embossing powder.  The sentiment is stamped in pretty peacock, using the stamparatus, then also in versamark straight over the top, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The medallion has a pearl basic jewels.

For my second card I decided to use a Freshly Made sketch for inspiration.  The three strips are pretty peacock with a layer of whisper white stamped with the birch stamp also in pretty peacock.  The medallion is stamped with versamark on a piece of oh so ombre dsp and heat embossed in gold.  The medallion has a pearl basic jewell.  The sentiment is stamped in pretty peacock and from the art gallery stamp set and punched out with the coordinating punch.  The sequins are retired (Bermuda Bay sequin trim) but coordinate perfectly.
