Make It Monday 101 - Layered Embossing

I wanted to try the technique showed at Paper Trey Ink Make it Monday . I mostly masked the medallions.  But the small yellow one in the corner is "layered".   I colored them with color pencils, and used stickles and Viva Decor pearl pens to add some dimension to the dots. 
 The colors are from Play Date Cafe
 
Edited: The sketch is from Sketch Frenzy Friday
 
The stamps and paper are from PTI.  I used a pink embossing powder.  For the purple and yellow medallions, I used the color pigment ink and clear embossing powder. 
This will be for a friend who will be having back surgery next week.  Does it count in the Less is More Friend Challenge ?
 
I'll also count this in 52 Card Pick Up - a challenge to make one card a week.
 
Thanks so much for looking!
