This months inspiration is a unique color scheme that has been popping up everywhere this spring. A bright green (Simply Chartreuse or New Leaf) paired with bold black & white patterns. Think gingham, argyle, checks or stripes. Really mix things up and enjoy the creative process!
When I saw this I thought of black and white footballs (if you are American you call it soccer) and a football pitch. So I made a zipper card for my son's football team coach. Although my husband has now told me I should make another 3 for all the coaches! All of the coaches are volunteers. Dad's whose children also play in the teams. I really appreciate the time they give to the children who have so much fun. This is my card:
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your wonderful comments. I can blog hop later in peace and quiet as hubby is out with other Dad's from the football club. They are a friendly lot.
