I love adding new backgrounds for greeting cards to jazz them up. If you take the original photo against a white background, it’s easy to select and delete the white and use just the subject.
Here is the original file.
For this card I used the Color Harmonies 2 collection in Photoshop CS6 and pulled it diagonally across a blank layer. Then I drop and dragged the flowers on top. You can add any text you want and play with the colors!

Thanks!
Thanks for the great tips. Where do we find this Color Harmonies collection in Photoshop?
Is it a filter?
There is a tool in the toolbox called Gradient about in the middle. Double click on that tool and you will see a colored box at the top left of your monitor screen. Click on that and you will get the Gradient Editor.
At the top of the Editor is a symbol like a cog across from the Presets title… click on the cog and it will show you different categories of gradients. That is where you can choose a preset or change the colors.
