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!
