WOW, I love the tropical feel of these colors. I discovered that by mixing Tim Holtz distress stains (squeezed lemonade, with broken china and ripe persimmon) and, using the Tim Holtz wrinkle free method, I have a back ground that is compatible with today's challenge colors. I added the butterfly (MB/Pippi), the ferns (PB/Fresh Breeze), sentiment (TL/sentiments 2014), and some silver dazzles colored with SN pen.

Of course, I had to go research this background technique, and found a tutorial right here on SCS. Your card is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to try that technique. I love the little touches of bling, too!

What a gorgeous mix of colors! I love that you were able to keep the colors from muddying! The coordinating die cuts look fantastic with the bling! How pretty this one is!
