This is a second card for a class I'm giving this weekend (using same background technique and sentiment stamp as yesterday's card).
I randomly dabbed a scrunched up piece of plastic wrap (dipped in frost shimmer paint), onto a piece of whisper white card stock. Before sponging, I cut off a strip (2 1/4" x 2 3/4") for yesterday's card and then used the larger piece for today's card. I sponged three shades of blue over the frost simmer paint and then die-cut with labels two. I added the corner die and then topped it with punched flower that were sponged, shaped and detailed with veins and white dots.
I attached the flowers using crystal effects - a tip I learned from Jennifer McGuire. If you place a good size drop of the CE and then press your shaped flower into it, the CE dries around it and holds the flowers in their shape - great tip!

Gorgeous faux mother of pearl background Loll. TFS your tip on the CE and attaching flowers too. Your vine and flowers are perfect over your label cut BG. TFS mf.
P.S. Did you use glossy white or just reg. white CS ?
