There is a range of beautiful colors in this background. I decided to use the corner which contained the beautiful rust colors.
The background was so lovely I only stamped the branches with orange and brown and the butterfly, sentiments with black and embossed the flourish using the Ranger Vintage photo embossing powder which not only gives it color it also has texture. Products:

A side note...
I started with a 6 3/4" x 4 3/4" piece and had a vintage photo to the right.
I didn't like how the image looked after I finished everything else so it was chopped off. That left a little of the sentiment still stamped on the image I had left.
So what you see with the sentiment now is a cover up of the remnant of the sentiment from my original design.
I am really pleased with what I ended up with but wanted to share because I find myself designing to fix my mistakes in some cases.
Does that ever happen to you?
