Background Text and Stamp Revamped

Transformed previous post and card.  My favorite Facebook page I follow is "Love Papertrey Ink", as that's exactly how I feel about this company.  I posted an earlier photo of this card but with suggestion given to me by Christal McLean regarding size and color on the Facebook page.  I also  decided to add black centers to the flowers to bring in more black than just the text in the center.  I kinda did a Transformation Tuesday (or is it Thursday?). 

This card uses all the items in the original post plus the following:
1.  Lovely Layers Stamp Set (Flowers)
2.  Stitching Garden Stamp Set (Small Yellow Floral in background
3.  Barely Banana and Lovely Lipstick Inks

Text & Images Backgrounds - Design Team Tips

Just the Handmade Background

Added Layers on top of Background

I love making backgrounds, although time consuming.  Therefore, when Laurie Schmidlin of "Just Give me Stamps" posted a PTI design team tip - "Text & Images Background", I jumped right in.  Laurie Schmidlin - Just Give Me Stamps

Although, I love all the elements of this card separately, it is a little busy in the lower right corner and will probably make some adjustment there prior to sending out to someone.  I am in love with the color combination.

Update Thank You Bokeh Background Post

This is an update to a previous post called "Thank You Bokeh Background" below.  The bow was out of scale and after getting suggestions from my Love Papertrey group member Sandy Dayhoff to use the bow from Winter Windows I went off to play.  This is the result and may be a possible Christmas Card this year.

All supplies are Papertrey Ink, unless otherwise noted

All supplies are those used in the post below with the exception of the bow is now from the Winter Window Stamp Set with Die and the Sentiment is from Merry Mug Stamp Set.

I still will be playing around with this card until I settle on what I like the best.  For instance, I my try Weathervane Ink on fence instead of Kraft.

Thank you for viewing.
