Mint to navy ombre ink is the key to this look so I think keeping the card simple is what makes the background pop. Although the black sentiment and the peacock strokes might have kind of distracting. Well I just inked up my hero arts stamp with mint to navy HA ombre ink. I also die cut two strokes and coloured them with peacock feathers distress ink. One softer that the other. I finally die cut the word hero out of some black cardstock. Since I could not decide which stroke to use (both of them seemed nice) I finally adhered both of them to my one layer card with some fun foam and place the hello die on top of the ligher peacock stroke. As a final touch I randomly add some enamel dots.

Gorgeous! Love the vibrancy you acheived with the hombre ink/technique - the background leaps off the page! Your diecut swooshes and sentiment provide a refreshing, soothing place for the eyes to settle. Very cool design! TFS
