Hi all! We've got a brand new challenge for you at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our hostess is Narelle and she's given us this fantastic sketch!
The weather is turning cool here in New England and when that happens I tend to gravitate toward warm colors on my cards -- fall is coming! My card today features a die-cut daisy that I colored in some warm yellow tones reminiscent of a sunflower and layered it against some gingham patterned paper. I was inspired by the tic-tac-toe challenge at the Paper Players and followed one of the diagonals - die cut, embossing, and patterned paper. The embossing may be a bit hard to see but the entire background of this card is embossed with a diagonal pattern.
Thanks for stopping by! My fellow Freshly Made Sketches design team members have made some amazing cards with this sketch so be sure to check them out!

Sweet....still a bit summery....and just the hint of the fall that is knocking on the door! Summer flies by even in a pandemic!
