Dirty Challenge and Balmy Journey!

I have two things to show you today: my submission for Jacksonbelle's pink/black/faux stitching challenge and a Balmy Breezes card for my DH's nephew who is off to Morocco with his dad today where he'll be spending his upcoming birthday--wow, what a cool way to spend your birthday, eh?!

A note about the Balmy Breezes/journey card: the sketch is inspired by Jen's Saturday SFYTT from July 26th and also from this card by Kelly/Atomicbutterfly. I absolutely love everything Kelly does with the SU! set, Define Your Life, and had to copy the way she stamped the definition on the vertical like so.
