Paper Players sketch challenge

Hello friends. Here is my latest card for the Paper Players Sketch challenge - clean and simple.

I think clean and simple is more my style as it comes more easier for me to create.  So my card is below.  What do you think?
To make this card, I cut a strip of designer paper from Basic Grey's hopscotch collection.  I used my Crumb Cake ink to sponge the edges.  I then punched out of the ribbon trim punch a strip of Crumb Cake cardstock and covered most of the punch, but left the small scallop edge to peek through the bottom.  For visual interest I cut it short so it did not span the entire width of the card.
I used my Big Shot and die cut the sentiment - Billboard strip die from Stampin' Up!  in both crumb cake and white.  To soften the white, I lightly sponged it with crumb cake ink also.  Before adhering to the card, I drew my brown line around the perimeter edge of the card - I hope with more practice my lines will be more straight...but good enough.  And just for a bit more interest, I added 3 rhinestones in 2 different sizes.  I hope it adds balance to the card.
Try to make your own card for this challenge.  I'd like to see what you create!  Happy crafting!
