Diamond Background

 I saw a challenge on the Penguin Palace Challenge Blog that had an inspiration photo and color palette.

I have a Penguin Palace cover die (Classic Diamonds Backdrop) that I thought would make a great background, so I picked out some cardstock that matched the colors in the palette.

I used the die on the red, orange and yellow cardstock, saving the diamond shapes from the orange and yellow cardstock. I adhered the red piece to a piece of purple cardstock, using a Scor-Tape Adhesive Sheet, and then placed the orange and yellow diamonds in the holes. 

Since I had used the adhesive sheet, the little oval cuts were sticky. I used some Cool Highlight Crystal Glitter Ritz Transparent Micro Fine Glitter to fill in the ovals.

I wanted to give the diamonds a little shine, so I added some Ranger Glossy Accents. I cut a leaf out of some ribbon that I found at Costco and added that to the front of the card, along with a sentiment.
