Thinking of you card featuring a silver embossed little flower bouquet and greeting with a watercoloured embossed background

I was making cards the other day for my July family special occasions and decided to make a few extra for my stash.  

This one features a stamped and silver embossed floral image along with a "Thinking of  you" greeting from the same stamp set.  I has been sitting on my craft table and not too far away was this background which was embossed and partially coloured.  Not sure where it came from because I do not own this embossing folder.  Anyway, I paired them up and added a blue ribbon and a green card.  I watercoloured the background ensuring that I left some white spaces to off set the image.  I trimmed it to size and added the wide blue ribbon and then mounted it to a green card.  I watercoloured the image, added paper piercing on all four sides with my pattern tracing wheel and then added a bit of blue watercolour around the edges.  Once dry, I mounted it to my card using 3D foam tape.  Worked out really well!  Therese
