My daughter needs to send out 45+ thank you's for her graduation. Thankfully, I have at least over 30 ready to go. Still need to make some more, though. So, I was on the hunt for inspiration. So, I went through all of the challenges and was able to combine quite a few! For the Inspiration challenge I found this fun photo: https://www.thecrownprints.com/colle...s/pink-vw-love
So, then I knew I had some pink to work with for Angie's initiation into the Free For All challenge.
It's a bit of a stretch for the sketch challenge, but, that was definitely my inspiration for my layout.
For my BG I used re-inkers and a watercolor palette tray. I felt like Crumb Cake had too much green in it, so I mixed in some Close to Cocoa for my sand. I also had some leftover Wink of Stella in one of the wells, so I mixed that in, too. It gave it a pretty shine. The sky is Balmy blue. I will say it is best to have lighter colors. I made a second one of these and the colors were much darker and I didn't like it as well.
We had cupcakes at her party and one of my friends requested the recipe, so I thought this would be fun to send to her. Plus, my second daughter is on vacation with a friend (again!) and thought this would work for the family that took her, too.

Ice-creams on the beach are a great memory of summer vacations! Love the little scene you've created. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
45, wow!!! We still have to send out thank yous and I need to look through my cards for thank you notes. We don't have 45 to send out though! It's been a whirlwind of activity here since graduation so we are behind. Your card is simply stunning! I LOVE the colors!
