Welcome
At the class I ran last week I taught how to use a die cut as a background. I saw this technique used on a card in a blog that I follow, but cannot find the post now to give credit to the artist . If anyone recognizes it, please let me know.
I altered the word and placed it on an angle in the background, offsetting each row.
After some thoughts, and watching how someone else modified their card, I added some wee bees to the flower and background, (all fancied up with some Kindy Glitz on their wings), and some beads to the centre of the flower (an old one {10 years or so} from Hero Arts). What cannot be seen in the photo is that I also painted the flower with WOS.
Here is a photo of the finished card, with an embossed sentiment on a hand cut banner.

Lovely card Maxine, like the idea of the words on the angle. Very pretty flower too. I'd love to know how to use a die as you did, if you find the link please let me know as I am impressed.xx{aNNie}

Oh you sure did nail this one, it's gorgeous. CarolG
There is so much I love about this card, Maxine - from the gorgeous design to the contrasting colors and that fabulous embossed background! Sensational ♥
Your card is stunning Maxine! I love when a die cut is used this way. Jennifer McGuire taught a class on this and I took it. She did it this way and with foam and shrunk it! Very fun to do. Thank you for your kinds words on my blog although I am sadden by your news about DH. I don't wish this journey on anyone. Be prepared to run on adrenaline. I ran on it for 3 years and think that is why I am finally "crashing" (for lack of a better word) now. If you need an ear or shoulder I'm here for you. My email is attached just in case. Hugs, Brenda
