I loved the spring flowers against the green in this image here, but didn't go quite so dark in my bg.
On separate cs the same size as card front, I embossed and sponged the flowers (stamped multiple times) with DI, splattered with water and blotted, splattered with white acrylic paint and finally sprayed with shimmer spritz for added sparkle. Fussy cut only across the top edge of this flower panel (along the edge of flowers and leaves) leaving the sides intact to align with the card front's sides. On the card front adhered the green cs and embossed sentiment. Popped up the flower panel with dimensionals, and then added a few left-over flowers/leaves without dimensionals at the top of the card front.
