Patterned Paper Scrap Card Background

At the MOMS group final meeting, we received roses, a great dinner and discovered that we had a prayer sponsor throughout the weeks! My sponsor gave me a beautiful prayer journal. I have never seen one before, and it is gorgeous:

 

So I looked at my scrap table and saw some leftover scraps from the MOMS thank you book -- and decided I might as well use the scraps to create a card for her. My cards aren't fancy or intricate -- I'd like to be able to make cards that are one day.

The idea for using scraps as a card background came from a cool blog post here. I am gonna try to do her more complex background soon, but this was a pretty good baby step, do you think?
