For my card I decided to make it look like it was matted (even though it is not!) by drawing a black box around the sentiment with a fine point Sharpie! I embossed (- yeah...the powder and heat gun way...not the dry embossed/Cuttlebug way!) using a large floral background stamp from Great Impressions, in order to give the flat card some dimension. The main image (the sentiment) is from Stampin Up! I chose the color palette for my card from CCEE Stampers color challenge. I combined the CCEE challenge with the other challenges listed below.
