Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #21

I've been trying to finish off some Christmas cards for a swap I am in, but have been having trouble getting started. I already knew which stampset I was going to use & a couple of days ago decided on the colours, but was abit stumped as to what to do for a layout. Well today while I was blog surfing I came across Taylor's Cupcake Challenge so thought I'd give it a whirl. I know the challenge sounds like you need to use cupcakes & Taylor does for her cards (pictures of cupcake that is), however it is not required, what you are required to do is follow this sketch
So here is my card, I had alot of fun making it - sorry to any of the girls that are in the swap who may visit here!

Stampsets: City of David, Circle of Friwndship
Cardstock: Old Olive, River Rock, Naturals Ivory, Basic Gray, Brocade Background DSP
Ink: Black Staz On, Basic Gray
Accessories: Jumbo Pewter Eyelet, Crop-a-dile, Pewter Brads, Crystal Effects, Stampin' Write Markers, Grosgrain Ribbon & Twine

I have added some Crystal Effects to the centre of the sentiment circle, which gives it a nice shiny raised appearence, abit like the raised stickers you can buy - anyway hope you like it!
