The sentiment strip is from
lime citron, where they have a page with sentiments in French and a die that cut all of them in one time, so I have a bunch of sentiment ready for any card I make.
I used some foam tape to pop up my background on a cardstock a little bit bigger. Since I didn’t have the right color of blue cardstock that I wanted for my card base, I decided to use Chipped Sapphire distress oxide to have a cardstock matching my scene.
