Playing with new embossing folders and dies

I got some yummy new Christmas embossing folders and dies recently and finally got round to having a play this weekend.  Here's what I came up with:

 

 

I was pleased with how they turned out as I also used inks with the folders for the first time too.  However, my hubby (who always gives me his honest opinion) doesn't like the gold one ... what do you think?  Should I make the bow smaller ... add something else?

 

Hope you've all had a good weekend xx
