Here's my card for SC149! What a great layout! I had my How Sweet It Is (MFT) out from last night, so I decided I would use it for today's challenge!
I also wanted to use some new polka dot dp by CLOUD9DESIGN, that I got last weekend. The dp matched chocolate chip and soft sky perfectly. It also has some rings of red around the dots, that were very close to ruby red.
I matted the main panel of the card with ruby red and soft sky. I used the dp for the main panel. For the strip across the center, I used ruby red and soft sky for the matting and chocolate chip cs for the top. I then used my Spot On jumbo wheel in Versamark across the cc panel. I embossed it with SU light blue ep (a perfect match for soft sky!). The main image from MFT is matted with ruby red, soft sky, and chocolate chip. It is stamped on very vanilla cs with black stazon. I watercolored the image with the Aqua Painter. I then sponged close to cocoa around the edges of the very vanilla. I made the two diamond panels with my square whale of a punch. I ran the edges of the panel along the ruby red classic pad and used the crop-a-dile to add the eyelets in the corners. I used my Fiskar's circle cutter to make the very vanilla circles on top of the diamond pieces. I stamped the chocolate chip bg from How Sweet It Is- MFT on the circles in close to cocoa (I stamped it off once before applying to the vv). The SO and SWEET are from the So Very set and were stamped in versamark and embossed with dark brown ep. The edges of the vv circles were run along the close to cocoa classic pad and adhered to the diamonds with mini pop dots.
Had lots of fun with this sketch and I loved getting to use my MFT set! What do you think?
Thanks for looking!

I think it's marvelous. I just ordered this set and now I am more inspired than ever! Well done on the entire card, especially the coloring. I also like the way you used this set.
