The First Snow

I love this week's monochromatic colors at Dynamic Duos.  The soft colors reminded me of a misty forest when the snow first starts to fall.

The First Snow

Here are the first few snowflakes...




I used this week's Merry Monday sketch.


And I'm going to enter this card into the Simon Says Stamp: Emboss It challenge.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Dynamic Duos design team has done with the colors - it's a gorgeous gallery!!  Then try it yourself and head over to link it up...we love to see what you have done!

  19. Oh, what a perfect choice of dry-embossing for the background! I'm sure you picked it to go with the snowfall theme, and it really works wonderfully.
