This card features a background technique Ardyth has made a couple of videos about. Basically it involves using watercolors to create loose designs, and adding to the work until you like the results. This background features stripes of watercolor, augmented by stripes of a rosy/gold glittery watercolor. I also added splatters of the glittery gold and navy blue watercolors to add more interest. The background is fun, but it's a little much for a whole card front, so I added a fun die-cut to break it up.

This is so pretty! What a unique die cut and you've used it well. The pretty water color background design looks great with the pale gray. Thanks for sharing with the February Challenge at A Cut Above.

Sandy, this is a very creative card! I love how you die cut that solid paper showing the patterned paper in the back. I’m going to pin this for a future inspiration! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Word Art Wednesday!
