This card background is a piece of alcohol ink'd paper in pinks and oranges (from my stash of backgrounds). I die-cut the flower oval and placed over top of the coloured piece. Added a simple black silhouette flower die-cut with two silver beads for the flower centers. I placed it over to the side so I didn't cover up too much of the pretty background. Stamped the sentiment at the bottom in black ink.

Beautiful card Loll, love the AI behind the pretty diecuts, Cathy x
I love the all over flower shapes on this oval die Loll, and the triple stitched lines around the outside edge really draw the eye in, also to the wonderful background alcohol inked piece behind the central oval, and the prettty black silhouette flowers with the silver pearl centres and the coordinating black stamped sentiment are great finishing touches. A fabulous card for your friend who will love it! x
Gorgeous card - love the AI background peeping through and the beautiful rich colours you used for it. Fabulous new die!
Gorgeous! The first thing that struck me is you colors and the fantastic contrast of the die against the background. It really pops! Beautiful card, Loll~
What a stunning design!
What a pretty way to use this fantastic background, Lolly! Love how the flower cuts let the colors shine through and the contrast of the black die cut flower!
Gorgeous die, gorgeous AI background -- it all makes for a gorgeous card!
Gorgeous card Loll, I love the beautiful AI background peeking through the lattice of the die cut and then the contrast with the silhouette die cut flower, hugs Robyn

This card is really pretty Loll! I love that background with the alcohol ink background, those colors are so pretty. The flower silhouette is perfect and makes that beautiful background stand out even more. Love this one! Hugs, Brenda
Ooooh, I love love how the background oval lets the color variation peek through and at the same time provides great support for the contrasting die cut flower. Love using those parts, especially when it comes out looking this fantastic!
Beautiful Loll, your die cut is perfect for pulling out hints of colour from your AI background. Pity that die is retired :(
so beautiful mf....glad I had some time to visit. Need to do it more often!

It's a shame to cover any of that colorful panel, Loll, but it's beautiful showing through that wonderful die cut.
What a dramatic card Loll - love the vibrant background you have peeping through there.
Stay safe
Blessings

Your alcohol inked background is so pretty and I think it makes your silhouette flowers pop on this card! Love the oval, too ~ xx
This is fabulous, Loll! Love the colors peeking through!
Gorgeous birthday card, Loll! I love that the black floral silhouette die-cut looks so striking on the vibrant AI colors peeking though! A wonderful combination of the stitched oval frames too.
