Majestic Circles ?

I had a plan. I knew exactly what I wanted to make for the JustRite Colour challenge ( Olive,Orange and Violet ), and then I got distracted by thinking a die looked like the top of a cemetery gate ( I'm blaming the migraine drugs for that!), so I made a Halloween card. So, I still had my plan. I went digging through my Spellbinders looking for the dies I needed and guess what ? I got distracted again ! This time by a die set I had a bad case of buyer's remorse for after ordering it. Then when it arrived, I was thrilled, it really is spectacular! But this time, I decided to alter it and here's what I did to Spellbinder's Gold Majesty Circles.




I cut the top half of it out twice from shiny green paper and joined them together to make it symmetrical. I cut a regular circle from a shimmery orange cardstock and then cut the circle and the embossing circle from the green again.
I can't get the b'ground paper to really photograph well. It's a textured and glimmery paper from the DCWV Boho Chic 6x6 pad.
I stamped the Irises from the JustRite Botanical Medallions and Banners set, coloured them with Copics,fussy cut them and covered them in Glossy Accents. I coloured a ribbon with my Copics too. The sentiment is heat embossed in purple and it's from the fabulous JR Grateful Hearts set. A few jewels and a cardbase of Labels Eight and it was done. And still not the card I had planned to make!
But how could I resist that gorgeous die ??!!
I'm entering this in the following:
