Of the two cards I made for this challenge, this background turned out the best. I used lighter colors and made sure the acrylic paint was quite sheer and very dry before adding the next layer.
I cut the sea flowers (actually I just like them because they're funky) from a piece from my stash, no idea what's on it. Used the same piece to stamp my sentiment with some shading. I used a Posca paint pen to put some dots around the circles and added a little Liquid Pearls in orange.
I hope you join me for this challenge. Thanks to Pat (pvilbaum) for telling me about it.

I'm not sure I prefer this one, it's pretty too but I think I like the dark one more, I like the die cuts and sentiment and the highlights with the white dots are really fun!!

Great sentiment, Jean. It's funny that you say you think lighter colours work better, whereas Anne decided that darker ones did. That flower die is super, and adding the dotted outlines to the circles in the background was a great idea.
