A Saucy Candy Wagon!

Well -  our Claire has a doozy of a color challenge for the WMS Monday Make Challenge
Beautiful colors -  but WAY too many for my liking!  Three is usually my limit!!  But - I gave it the old college try -   and came up with decorating this cute mini polka dot bag
I don't think I actually got ALL of the colors in - but I'm going to pretend I did....  there's a dark pink printed on the bag -  I used a deep purple for the wagon and a light purple for the Sweet Treats stamping -  then added a light purple rhinestone to the center of the wheel -  and black on the Candy Wagon sentiment close enough I say!!  The stamps are all from the WMS set appropriately called Candy Wagon!

I finally got my Silhouette Cameo set up and purchased the additional Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software so I can now cut Claire's SVG cut files!  So I cut my little wagon with it and popped it up on the bag with foam tape.,  The candy wagon cut files are free in the Waltzingmouse shop here!

So -  do you think you can make a project using ALL of these great colors??!!  Check out Claire's post here.

I'm also entering this in the Addicted to Cas Challenge -  Code word: Candy

Stamps:  Waltzingmouse - Candy Wagon
Paper:  White -PTI
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Ranger Distress Seedless Preserves and Victorian Velvet
Accessories:  foam tape, candy wagon cut file - free at Waltzingmouse store, mini polka dotted bag - Impress Stamps,

    Oh SWEET! In so many ways...the dots, the image, the little glassine bag! I am thinking my 5 color challenge may end up being like 3 1/2 colors, hee!

    Such a lovely little 'candy' bag. I'm a big fan of dots and spots and those colours look great together. Thanks for joining us at ATCAS this fortnight.

    Oh this is gorgeous! The sweet Candy Wagon is super. I've only had my Cameo since Wednesday and I think it's just brilliant!
