I have to admit I wasn't too sure about this color combination at first, but have to tell you that now I absolutely LOVE it!! Here's what I came up with:
I started by stenciling my background using Pinkfresh Studio's Mirrored Triangles stencil and used Gina K's Tangerine Twist ink first, then flipped the stencil over to the back and stenciled again using Gina K's Red Hot ink. I used the same two inks to stamp the flowers from Ink To Paper's Prominent Petals stamp set, then die cut them out and pop dotted them to my background. I die cut the stems and leaves from black to make them pop a bit more since the rest of the card is already pretty busy. The stamped "Hello" is from Gina K's latest bundle called A Little Hello, and I finished with just a couple Disco Ball sequins (also Gina K).

Turning that stencil was a great idea, Marcia. It made such a fabulous background with those colors. The black accents are perfect with it and that flower is lovely.
