Here is a card from my recent Florida-themed cards class. The GORGEOUS background is the Expressions in Ink 12 X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper #155696.  It should look familiar because it is featured on the front & back covers of the current annual Stampin' Up! Catalog! 

The image is from Timeless Tropical Stamp Set #151497.  This vanilla portion of the card is 6 X 2-1/2", scored at 3". VERY easy, but the papers make it special!
