Hey, everyone!!

Laurie, an amazing Angel has issued a Color Challenge over at Paper Wings. This is the first challenge of the year and I really want to participate in more challenges, especially at Paper Wings, so I was eager to make a card using only Turquoise, Kraft, Ivory and Brown. I will admit that my "Ivory" is actually "White" but the rest of the colors qualify, right? LOL I made a masculine Valentine card to give my two year old son! I hope he likes it. It's up on dimensionals and has a little bling but I don't think it's too girlie for him! LOL What do you think?
The cardstock is cut at 4" x 8" and scored with my Scor-Pal at 4" creating a square card. I love this size! I then added a brown layer with measuring ¼" smaller than the 4" base. The white cardstock is ½" smaller than the 4" base. I sponged some Reflection Blue Hybrid Palette ink onto the white cardstock and then added a blue rhinestone in each corner. The scalloped squares are made with my punches I have from The Angel Company. The white square is 1½" squared, sponged with Reflection Blue and the cupcake wrapper is paper pieced with the turquoise cardstock. The cupcake is a PWP stamp set! You can buy this adorable set called All Smiles for only $2.95 with any $30 purchase. In fact, this month you can purchase TWO of these PWP stamps for any $30 purchase!!
Here's a look at the inside:
The sentiment is from a retired stamp set from The Angel Company. It's called Sweet as Pie. I always tell my kids, "You are as sweet as pie!" So I will be including this sentiment in both my children's Valentine cards this year! What have you made today? I'd love to see it!

Angel Hugs,
