Sweet 16!!

I'm at the beach on vacation and brought some supplies for the few days I'm here alone. I decided to combine a few challenges since I don't have my full array of tools and embellishments. This card was inspired by the colors in the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #121 Photo. The Cupcake Craft Challenge #153 this week is called "How Old?" and it is to use a number on a Birthday card so I chose Sweet 16. I also decided to use the sketch at Skipping Stones Designs Sketch Challenge #87 created by Teri Anderson. 




Here's my card.
