I realy enjoy making my own background papers, its amazing the results you can get with a few stamps and an assortment of colours. For this paper I used four shades of my brown distress inks. The stamps used were Creative expressions - Wild Flowers
The main image which I embossed, also came from this set. Shading on the edges was done with tea dye distress inks.
I am hoping this card will fit these challenge themes -
