I found a tutorial from Kim Dellow about creating a faux printed bg with paints and using an old gift card edge to spread the paint . I had such fun experimenting with it and will be doing it again! After I created the background (with 3 shades of blue paint and 1 white acrylic - there is my 4 for the challenge), I assembled with a strip of black, the black twine, the chloe stem dies, and the the sentiment - which I popped up with dimensionals. Lots of fun.
