I'm enjoying the Random Patchwork background technique so much that I tried it out with some very different papers and the Merriest Moments stamp set and dies bundle. This is the finished card.

The papers I used for this card are from a gorgeous, richly coloured pack named Blackberry Beauty
The colours in these papers are: Polished Pink, Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Cinnamon Cider and gold.

This photo shows the patchwork in the background.
For the simplest version of this background start with 4 different patterns of DSP cut to 10 x 14 cm. Layer these papers on top of each other and using your Stampin' Trimmer, cut 4 diagonal cuts in the papers. This will ensure that each cut is the same on all 4 pieces and you'll be able to create 4 slightly different backgrounds.
Adhere the rearranged shapes onto a piece of basic white card, butting each shape together.
You can use more cuts if you want a more intricate background.
Choose a frame die to cut out the background. I've used the very versatile Scalloped Contours die set. I love the variety in this set and I used the second largest die that has a lovely scalloped edge with the added bonus of stitching detail.

The flowers are raised with dimensionals.
Again, using this technique you will have 4 slightly different backgrounds to create 4 cards.
