Pretty Painting

I saw this sketch at Paper Secrets and thought it would work really well for 2 photos I have of my daughter painting.
With an artsy subject like this and the paint colors in the pictures I had to pair them with some Amy Tangerine 'Sketchbook' papers and embellishments. I love how it turned out, and it was so fun to use all these bright colors together! I used ledger paper for the background of the layout, so I'm going to enter this in the current Paper Girls challenge as well.

While I had my supplies out, I made this card. I really should do this more often. This time I decided to color in one of the 'Sketchbook' doodles and make it the focus of the card.
When deciding on colors and papers, I went with the gorgeous colors and cute polka dots found in this inspiration photo for the Pinspired Challenge #1.

Thanks for looking at my projects today!
