Mother Nature has once again reared her ugly head here in New England and dumped a foot of snow in my yard. This is the second time she's pulled this stunt this winter and I've just about had enough. The only saving grace for both storms is that the frigid temperatures accompanying the storms ensure that the snow is light and fluffy which equates to easy to shovel. That doesn't always happen around here so I'm thankful of that at least. One of the weathermen on TV joked that he was going to use his leaf blower to rid his driveway of snow and I think that's a pretty nifty idea!
Since it's Wednesday you know that there's a new sketch up at Freshly Made Sketches. This week Rita is the designer and she's incorporated the ever-popular flags in the sketch. I've got a zillion flag dies but none of them allowed me to layer in quite the way I wanted, so I cut mine by hand.
The colors for this card were inspired by the inspiration photo at Fusion. I love that color combo and have interpreted the colors to be Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Whisper White.
Once again the Freshly Made Sketches design team has created some great cards to help you get your craft on! Hope to see you in the gallery this week!

ReplyDeleteLove what you've done with those gorgeous colors, Jen. Even though this card has Daffodil Delight which is a bright color, it looks beautifully serene to me. BTW, everytime I visit your blog, seeing Sheldon makes me smile :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card! Sometimes I think that gray and yellow are the most stunning color combination ever. You've expressed that perfectly here. So sorry about your snow. We've had big storms with cold and small snows in-between. Our snow removal guy DID use his leaf blower the other day...it worked perfectly. Not such a crazy idea! Bev
ReplyDeleteGasp! You cut your flag BY HAND?? Whatever has the world come to!! It really did make me chuckle; I'm so used to my dies now, I have forgotten all about cutting with those ... whaddu call them?
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, Jen, your card is beautiful!! The colors look divine! Hugs, Darnell
