For Lyn's Background Mix and Match TLC challenge.
I had fun making this before work, even had time to take the photo too.
I used four IO backgrounders and DOX inks. Stamped the wildflowers, stamped the sentiment (should have thought more in advance about placement, but it is what it is. I extended the stems down to the bottom of the panel and that helped), edged it with a black Sharpie and added a little butterfly cut from a dictionary page. Spotted some white pen over the Queen Anne's Lace flower heads, but it just absorbed the green.

I have been loathe to get smaller bg stamps like from Deep red and actually let go of some, thinking I had made a judgement mistake. (thought they were bigger) Seeing this idea...hmmm. I dunno. I am not great with mixing patterns like you did.
I like the butterfly being in the center of the swirl...with the stems in two and the sentiment in one...all your sections have a "goodie". I think you are fine with where the hello is.
