May Swap Card

My SU holds a monthly card swap.  We get the name of one of our fellow members and make a card for them.  When everyone receives their cards, we post to our FB group and show off the pretties!  May was my first month participating in the swap and of course I got our group leader.  I decided to attempt a card using the new stamp set: Work of Art.  I actually recieved the set free at the catalog premiere at the end of April but haven't done much with it until this card.  I think i was extremely scared of how abstract the set is.  Lots of undefined ink patches.  After a few duds, I finally settled on this design.  The colors are much more vibrant in person. Overall, I liked my attempt, but obviously need to use this set more.  And possibly scour Pinterest for more ideas.
