Sweets For The Sweet

For this week's challenge I pulled out an old Mojo Monday sketch.  I love this sketch is helps to use up scraps.  Also it was great because I did not have any DSP to make this color combo, Marina Mist, Old Olive, Bashful Blue, Always Artichoke.  I also got to pull out the embossing powder which I have not done in a long time. 

Thanks for looking.
