MFT Color Palette Challenge: March

Hello!  I'm sorry I didn't post for several days, it was a busy week!  The garage sale went decently, not the best one I've held but worth having nonetheless.  It was really hot last Saturday, so maybe that kept people at home/at the beach!

I thought it would be fun to participate in My Favorite Things' Color Challenge this month.  It's all soft pastel shades and I sure like those!  Plus, I have a sample pack of MFT paper now, so I could use the exact ones in the challenge.  :-)  Here's my card:

(I am having tons of trouble with my light box.  I'm not sure what's changed, but I just can't seem to get enough light.  I need to trouble shoot big time.)  I used the Jumbo Party Hat die for the first time.  I love to use party hats on birthday cards, so I bought this die when it was released.  I had fun putting together a festive hat and I know I'll be making more!  I put the sentiment on a flag looped over some aqua twine.  You can sort of tell here that the words are embossed in sparkly embossing powder.  I think that and the bling on the hat look really nice in person.  Here's the inside:

Again with the weird lighting.  Anyhoo, I'm happy to have this card for my stash, and happy to play along with MFT!

OMG, Jill, LOVE that party hat! So colorful and festive! And you've given me an idea, to pick up a sampler pack of MFT paper so I can have their shades and play in their color challenge. Lord knows I need no more paper, but a sampling doesn't really count, does it lol ;) Have a great weekend!

Very creative Jill. Very seldom see a party hat used in a card. Don't know why because it really works well. Very festive. I am the crazy half of JD/Jill. LOL
