Wishy Washi Mojo

Hi friends!  It's Monday again and with the last Mojo sketch of the month, that means it's round or square week.  This week's sketch was based on this little number I made a while back.  I had fun re-inventing the sketch for today's sample card.



The past few weeks I've been on a washi tape spending spree.  I spend way too much time perusing Etsy on my iPad while the boys are feeding.  Which means there's a steady stream of crafty goodness arriving in my mailbox.  {grin}  When I sat down to stamp, I was inspired by this fun artistic collage washi that had just arrived.  I loved the colors and the different patterns, so I used the same roll and randomly placed pieces on the embossed background panel, as well as layering strips over the square piece for a fun collage background.  The stamps are from the Brighter Days set and I added a  bit of doodling, beige paint and some ink distressing to match the feel of the tape.  A scrap of bloomers ribbon is my side embellishment and I added leaves stamped with the Dream Big set and cut with the Dreamy Leaves Die Set.

I hope you have a fantastic start to your week and are able to squeeze in a little creative time of your own!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
