I made this for my SIL's birthday. Used my (click link for youtube video tutorial) to make the background. Always a risk using complementary colours (opposites on the colour wheel), as they can sometimes end up a brown, muddy mess. I did end up with some brown, but I like it next to the turquoise and deep orange. Stamped script randomly overtop, and added some matte heavy gel through cubist stencil in the bottom right corner. Mounted on my to main panel, and stamped the sentiment underneath.
Used cork to die-cut the leaves and mounted them on top.

OMG Loll, your saturated and stamped background has so much depth and interest. Love your cork die cut leave too. Love the font on your new birthday sentiment too. Alex is going to love and appreciate your thoughtful card :-) Hugs, nancy

WOW! Another spectacular background! How I'd love to join your stamping group! Browns are my favorites and go so well with any color combination so I love the results of this!
