3 Challenges in 1 Card

My goal this year is to enter my work into more challenges and even to some magazine calls. I'm hitting 3 challenges with this one card.
I've always wanted to enter Dawn McVey's color challenges, so I'm excited to finally have done it! I got the sketch from Get Sketchy! This was the first time I ever worked from a sketch. I liked it. The hard part is done for you. And finally, the polka dots fit the challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges. Creating for a challenge is a nice change. You have a purpose and a starting point, so it makes creating a little easier.

So here it is. The CS is from a DCWV pack. The brown polka dots paper is from Stampin' Up! I fussy-cut the cake from DCWV's new Doodlin' Around stack. And the sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink.
