Challenge #194 at :613 Avenue Create

Hi everyone, I've been in the wars lately with a sore back and now an abscess on my gum. So feeling a bit sorry for myself, lol. But, life goes on and these are only little trials.
We have a new challenge starting today at 613 Avenue Create and the theme is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist - Sentimental Journey - CAS (use the colour blue and make the sentiment the focal point).
Here is what I came up with...... Background made by stamping ink onto an acrylic block, misting with water and stamping. I like how it turned out....a bit like a cloudy sky which I feel suits the sentiment.

Recipe:
White card from stash
SU Tempting Turquoise cardstock for the matte
Background handmade
Sentiment from CTMH stamp set Card Chatter - Sympathy
Pearls from stash
Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad
D/S tape roller
