Kim is sharing this card on the Paper Smooches Blog today. It features a sentiment from Simply Said surrounded by four small images from Get Outta Town. I broke out my new postage stamp nesties for the first time to make the indigo base for this card. The white panel is a separate layer tilted off the base. Then I sponged the ocean and stamped the waves by turning the bird stamp upside down. The sunset or sunrise as a post mark ties into the shape and scene of this card. I added the airplane to add movement and the sentiment was stamped last. I love this big sentiment because it makes the card and also because it means I could give this card to a friend for any reason!
Isn't the April release amazing? I hope you're having loads of fun with your new Paper Smooches stamps. :) I just wanted to remind you that there are two exciting things happening at Paper Smooches right now that you might want to check out: (1) May Guest Designer Search and (2) Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge Design Team Call. Best of luck to all who apply!

Wow, Emily! The sentiment DOES make the card (and the cute little airplane, too!). The ocean is fabulous. I love your new Nesties, too--perfect for the rest of the card :)
This is a fabulous card!
