So Sweet

Here is the sketch this week from Sweet Sunday:

For my card I incorporated a number of challenges that were perfect because I have a little girl in my class whose birthday is tomorrow and this will be perfect for her, her favorite color is pink!

The 365 Card Challenge is to have the word 'so', the Just Us Girls challenge to paper piece and use some pink, the Little Stamp Shoppe challenge to use a Magnolia stamp and mostly pink. I paper pieced the cupcake, clothes and shoes. The Tilda is mounted on foam squares. I painted her boots and the ribbon of the cupcake with Shimmerz. Finally I scented the card with Cupcake Card Scent.
Pattern Paper, Ribbon, Pearl and Ink: Close to My Heart
Stamps: Magnolia
Letter Stickers: Pink Paislee
Punches: Martha Stewart
Markers: Copics
Card Scents: Cupcake
Shimmerz: Pink
