Handmade collage card

I had planned to make this card simple, but I got carried away. I starting with the marbleized paper with the blue wash, it did not seem like enough, so I tore off a piece of a acrylic painting I had already cut up.
I glued both pieces to orange cardstock, and then I decided I did not like the background, so I cut most the background out. I outlined the paper that did not get cut out with copper acrylic paint.  I painted the rest of the background with gold acrylic paint. I needed to attach white cardstock to the inside of the card to give me something to glue the new background to. The new background was more blue paper, brown cardstock and a piece of a watercolor painting that matched perfectly.
 The card can be a thinking of you card or something can be written or drawn on to the top right hand corner. I love all the layers on this card; I will have to make another one like it, on purpose this time.
