Papertrey Ink's 3rd Anniversary ~ Day 8 ~ Paint by Numbers


Hello everyone,

Today I washed my first load of little bitty clothes ever, to have them ready by when our little bitty boy arrives. I kept looking at them, hardly believing there are human beings out there that need clothes that small. 

While the clothes were in the washer, I made a card for Papertreyink's Paint by Numbers Challenge. What a fun challenge!  I'm always so impressed with the awesome ideas Nichole Heady comes up with. When I grow up, I want to be like her. 

So, here is the sketch for everyone...

... and here is the color palette corresponding to the first letter of my online username (PurpleD).
