I water colored this white background piece with pastel blue and green inks and once it dried, I embossed it with a WRMK next level gemstone ef. Next I added a SU! doily underneath the SU! sentiment which was layered with a SB grommet tag using some Cool Caribbean card stock. I fussy cut the sentiment and placed it on the blue panel, then looped some pastel green gingham ribbon on the sides. I added some pale green Kaiser pearls to the top and bottom and called this one done. The inside sentiment says "and sometimes it's a pain in other places too."
I'm sharing this with the TT349 challenge which is "creative borders." I'm thinking the layered tag with ribbon would be a creative border of sorts. I guess the challenge police will decide that for me :)
Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a great day!

What a beautiful card this is. I love the pretty colours and what a super sentiment. I often have a pain in the neck but it's just arthritis! Barbxx
Haha, Challenge Police, indeed! If they come for you, Carol, they'll have to step over me, cuz I'll tell them that this card is a pure delight in person! I still chuckle at that sediment - and can attest to the truth of it, too!! Happy 4th! Hugs, Darnell
Lovely card! Like that background and the colors you used!
I love your background! What a neat embossing folder and your colors are beautiful! I'm not the "challenge police", but I think the border works o.k. Thanks for joining our "Creative Borders" challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!
Another cool looking background. Love the way you did the sentiment with the ribbon. Very cool card!
