Greetings!
Sometimes the easiest way to create a soft background is simply by doing a white on white. The Butterfly Brilliance Bundle is a great set to do this with. This die set features butterflies in sizes ranging from very small (1/2" x 3/4") to quite large (3-1/2" x 2-1/2"). For this background I cut out the four smallest sizes multiple times and scattered them over the entire card front.
