TLC639: smackdown technique is what I used to create the background.
CC636: this week's color challenge are Old Olive, Tangelo Twist, and Cherry Cobbler. I had to substitute Pumpkin Pie for the Tangelo Twist.
I used an older stamp set, Greehnouse Garden to make the background. I really like how it turned out. Then the challenge was to work the old olive in. I chose to do that with the die cut and also one of the glimmer brads. I wasn't able to work in the ribbon, though. I tried but didn't like anything I tried.
I really like the smackdown technique and will try that again.
Thanks for looking.

I didn't get around to trying this. But love what you did with this stamp set. The flower blooms remind me of fireworks in the sky to celebrate a birthday! The glimmer brads are wonderful on this too.
