A Mish Mash of Challenges

But hopefully not a mish-mash card! I combined several challenges for this one, starting with the colors from Color Chef which were light blue, cream, brown and red. I knew the paper I wanted to use but was stuck for a layout so I used the sketch from CPS. Also this week, I found a new to me challenge called Rosie and Dee and their challenge this week is to use two squares and a rectangle. Other challenges:
Die Cuts R Us: use any medium (I used embossing, glitter on the cupcake and water color pencils)
Flourishes: Mix it up (I used tearing/embossing/glitter)
Lots of challenges, I know. Despite that, my card turned out to be pretty simple.

What I used for this card:
Paper: DCWV "The Stack 6"
Stamp: Inkadinkadoo "Humorous Birthday"
Ink: Stampabilities brown pigment ink
Coloring: SU! Watercolor pencils
Embossing Folder: Spots and Dots
Ribbon and glitter from my stash

    Lori, it may be simple, but it's totally sweet! I love the embossed strip as an added element. Thanks for participating in the DCRU DT Tuesday Challenge.

    Hi Lori

    Your little mouse looks like he's already eaten the cake several times over. Cute card though.

    Thanks for joining us at Rosie Dees.
