Make Your Own Background with Blossoms In Bloom

I created this card for a Build A Card Challenge with the team I’m on. The requirements were to create my own background, use Coastal Cabana, at least two layers and use twine. It’s so nice to have a starting point for designing a card.

I used the Blossoms In Bloom Stamp Set and stamped the flowers and dots in different colors. It’s always good to start with your largest image and then fill in with smaller images when making your own background.
