How I Love this set! <3
I wanted to do a water color! So I played around with it... 
and I Love that you always get a different background!  :)
After doing the Peach Bellini water color background I stamped the image & greeting
 then misted it with a little water.
Using the following Gina K. products to create this one!

This is a wonderful image for a background!  Love It…
