I used the We R Memories Keepers ribbon thing to create the line in the center. Then I stamped on scraps of white paper the two Hero Arts sentiments Best Wishes and Happy Birthday. I'm not sure I love the diagonals but they are growing on me. The background is a Hero Arts stamp that I heat embossed using white embossing powder. Then I took my ink blending tool and distress inks to make it the tan in the center and darker towards the edges. I matted that piece onto some brown cardstock.
Thanks so much for looking.
