Welcome Sallie, our new hostess for the colour challenges. I love your colour choice, but had to improvise a bit ... I did make my own background though ...
I tied some bubble wrap around a small bottle and dabbed it on the ink pad. I stamped off a few times to lighten the colours. I like how every circle is different. I embossed the flower and sentiment with clear EP.

Lovely dramatic looking card, Sandie. Your bg is TERRIFIC....TFS how you created it.....I'll have to try it since I love the effect. Your black embossed line image, black framing and ribbon all make your card a stand out.

Thank you Karen and ladies - I was thinking about the wonderful Karen Dunbrook's masking tape idea ... and the bubble wrap came to mind. So I gave it a go!

I personally love the bubblewrap technique. You got such variety in the little nubs........looks great as a bg for the beautiful blossom done in gray!! Yowza!
