Old art backgrounds renewed!

During my daily blogging I came across a blog which suggested using old art backgrounds as part of focal point on a card.  I made this background when I was still living in Calgary so it is an old background alright.

I was able to find a green card stock to match the green in the background piece so after matting on black and the green I really liked the results.  

This is a close up of the focal point matted.

Here another look at the card where you can see the embossing I did and I cut the Happy Birthday with my Ecutter.  

Really like the idea of using old art backgrounds I have made over time.

Supplies used:

SU brown, black and green cardstock.  Ecutter for text and shadow text. Sizzix TH embossing folder.
