I don't usually do collage-type backgrounds, but I decided to try one. I started by stenciling in various shakes of pink and plum, then added some script, followed by some flowers, which I stamped in multiple generations. The dragonfly is black-embossed, and I added a few gems in the left lower corner. If I decide to add a sentiment, I can stamp it on a strip and choose the placement.
The main panel is mounted on black, which was a rectangle that I cut on the diagonal to add a little interest, and then mounted on a lavender card.
This card is entered in these challenges:
