Topic: Backgrounds
Finally, the end of the waxed paper backgrounds started way back when. This one is another of the brick patterns, mostly hidden by the other elements, though.
I added black-banded strips of dark red-brown and a green print. I pulled tones from these as well as the brick to color up the jungle image from the bargain stamp catalog. The Distress Markers worked great for this. Rounded corners softens the image and makes it fit better with the 'tag' element which came in the form shown. The image is popped up on foam tape.
The tag says "Wishes are the magic in our hearts that cause beautiful things to happen. --Flavius". In keeping with this theme I added "Best Wishes" to the card bottom using gold peel-off stickers.
