MOJO139 Sentimental Island Oasis Journey

It's finally feeling like spring and nearly summer here in the Black Hills, even though we just had 8" of snow last week!  Over the weekend I got my deck flower pots filled and our creek running through our mountain property is full!  The forest smells so good in spring after a long winter!

Stampin' Up! Mojo Monday MOJO139 PPA42 Island Oasis Sentimental Journey Top Note Challenge Card Ideas


The warm weather makes me think of a Sentimental Journey to an Island Oasis!  In a Word...sunny!

MOJO139 & PPA42 Challenge Card





That's right...today I combined the sketch from Mojo Monday and the color challenge from Pals Paper Arts to create this one dreamy card!  I love the bright challenge colors that match the Island Oasis Designer Series Paper from the Summer Mini Catalog.

To create that "Love Boat" feel around the Sentimental Journey cruise ship stamp, I created 3 graduated sizes of post-it note masks around the shape (for the smallest one I traced around my clear-mount stamp), then sponged the Classic Inks starting from the outside in!

Check out my other challenge cards!
