Alrighty, I adapted the Spotted Background technique found here (and thanks to Susie Nelson's suggestion): Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The Bermuda Bay ink is faulty in my pad, and I forgot until I started using it, but it works anyway.
This is an oldie but goodie set for me. It was the first stamp set I bought (after a Simply Sent Card Kit)....I was so in love with it, and now it hardly gets used.
The thank you is colored with a marker on the sentiment before stamping....I couldn't choose between colors for layering behind the oval, so I got creative and used two different larger ovals in two colors, and a circle behind both of those layers. It's all very retro in my opinion.
It's busy, but I like it I think. TFL.

Your card is very attractive. I especially like the ovals and circle behind the sentiment--that ties all those colors together. Nice job on the background.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow, your background looks great. I like that image better for this than the one I used.
Guess I'll just have to do another one. Sigh.

I really LOVE your card. Thanks for sharing! P.S. I am casing for my workshop on Friday evening! That is my all time favorite stamp set and I was looking for a card with the new In-Colors and this is PERFECT! Thanks again!
