My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #388 & Color Challenge #94

Over the past few days, I saw the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #388 pop up on a couple of different blogs I follow, and I went, “I could do that!” The smallness of my craft supply stash is inversely proportional to the excitement I feel when I see a challenge that I could complete with supplies that I already own. In other words, I was ridiculously excited to own a banner die this week.

Since I’m submitting to the MFT sketch challenge, I went ahead and followed the MFT Color Challenge #94 too — it fits the theme of my images wonderfully. (Cherries aren’t naturally peach, but hey, it looks cute. That’s what counts, right?)

I covered the icing on the cupcakes with shimmer pen, but glitter is notoriously hard to photograph and that proved true once more.

In addition to entering the MFT challenges, I’m submitting the card to Simon Says Stamp’s Work It Wednesday: the theme this month is summer, and this color palette reminds me of beach-themed decor.
