GIU Day 3: Beautifully Confused Anniversary

Hello and welcome to my Day 3 of my Growing in Unity week!  Today I am sharing an anniversary card I made for my awesome hubby (I hope he's not peeking cause our anniversary isn't until next month).
I love script backgrounds and they seem to be everywhere right now so I tried to make my own.  My first attempt was me with my watercolor brush and black paint.  It turned out okay but I didn't love it.  I had already inked this fabulous heart from Beautifully Confused so the set was still on my table and I thought that the rest of the set had a pretty script and so I experimented with it and the July 2014 SMAK kit By The Numbers and came up with a background I really liked!
The sentiment stamped onto the heart is from July 2014's KOTM Beautiful Inside and Out.
 
GIVEAWAY!!!

I like how you made sort of a blue/green rainbow of colors. It's very summery and pretty. Nice.
