Make your own background.  All embellishments,  paper and card stock is from my stash so I do not have all the names of the companies.  Today's post is for Simon Says and OWH Our Daily Bread Designs make your own background challenges.  I used a A2 card base to start with.  
1.  I started with Stampin' Up Red ink and white card stock.  Stamped out a brick like background.  This was easier than I expected since I had no background stamps.
2. Then I adhered with TomBow permanent adhesive the background onto the card base.
3.  Added the green tag and "Missing You"  with TomBow.  Last added the basket of cherries.
