I really liked the bg behind the flower, so I thought, hey, why don't I try that with an ef!
I first stamped Upsy Daisy in Black, then I tried my hand with the ef.
I wanted the words to pop on the ef, so I actually did it twice, this is the second attempt. I grabbed bashful blue, and went on the top portion of the ef, then I used certain celery on the bottom side of the ef. When I first tried, I did it on the raised letters, that didn't work, so I tried it on the smooth side, and came out with this result.
After that was done, I loved the result, so I mounted the image on black cs. I then grabbed my certain celery cs as my base. I thought the card needed some kind of division, so I went to my bashful blue. I had this inch and a half scrap piece that was long enough to fit the card. I played with different color combos, and decided I liked the blue and white. All the pieces are scraps of each color. I cut them into 1 inch pieces and staggered them at the sides of the card. I knew my image was large enough, and I didn't want to waste paper, so they are just scraps cut into one inch strips.
I really love how this card turned out. I think it has a unique look.

Wow Dara, my card inspired you, I am so humbled. What a beautiful card you turned out to create yourself. I love that you gave a few trys to the cb folder. Don't you just love your cards even more when you add a little more effort to them as you di. The result is this gorgeous card. Love the matting of the panels in the background. TFS
