My background is stenciled rather than stamped, so I hope I didn't disqualify myself?!! But anyway, I love, LOVE The Ton Stencils and how large they are...their floral images truly can cover the entire front of an A2 size panel. I used the Darling Dahlia layering stencil and made it my WHOLE background! Take a look...
Told ya!! There's not much space left on this card front that isn't the Dahlia, and I even trimmed some of it off so I could mat the panel with a piece of black and still have a white border from the card base.
I used orange and pink inks (Gina K) to stencil all 3 layers, although the pink doesn't show up as much as I would have liked!
So as not to take away from the Dahlia background, I added a simple sentiment (Impression Obsession - Big Wishes Die) die cut in black and added a rhinestone for the dot above the "i". A pretty simple card, but BIG & BOLD and perfect to celebrate our oldest daughter's birthday coming up in a few weeks.

This is truly a bold and beautiful blossom! I love that it takes up the whole card front. The framing and sentiment add to the crispness of this pretty card. I see a winner here!
Stunning, Marcia.
Goodness, the detail in this BIG stenciled dahlia is amazing! I see a hint of pink and a whole lot of gorgeousness. The big sentiment is perfect with it, too. I hope you're not disqualified, but I'm sure grateful that we all got to see this beauty!
Wow! What a gorgeous, huge flower, Marcia! I love the colors and the stencils make the coloring so pretty and natural!
Beautifully done, Marcia! That big bloom is marvelous. I like your color choice and the bold black sentiment!
Beautiful stenciling, and a terrific background though it's front and center in my brain! Love it
