Here is my take on the challenge. I used my misti, several colors of inks and Paper Smooches Positive Strokes stamp set to make these backgrounds. I used 3 of the paint stroke stamps in my misti and the lightest color (yellow). Then I added experimented with going to darker colors as I worked my way down the card (greens). I kept the stamps where they were and just moved my card stock up.
I stamped the sentiment with versafine black ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I trimmed the panel down and added it to an A2 colored card. I had an 'oops' spot where I got some ink on the white space. So I added a sequin to cover it up. :)
I was having so much fun that I tried out some other color combos too.
