Paint by number challenge

 I've been waiting with baited breath each day as Papertreyink reveals each new and amazing product they will begin carrying.
It's so exciting! There have been several challenges and contests, and although I've created a card each time, I never seem to have a moment to post them on the blog. Today they revealed paint! Actual mini paint cans with acrylic paint in each of PTI's signature colors! UNBELIEVABLE.
Nichole also issued a sketch and a color challenge based on your PTI forum user name.
This was my group of colors to use. Fun, huh?

Although I followed the sketch that was posted, I turned it on its side and moved the sentiment. The lemon tart comes in with the single button and the three bling jewels that I colored with a copic to be pale yellow.

I used Turning a New Leaf, Polka Dot Basics, Vintage Picnic Sentiments, Guidelines Two, and Background Basics: Text Style. It was so difficult to cut out those leaves!!

Thanks for stopping by!
