Through Rain or Shine

Well...with this weather, perhaps my card should be through snow or shine!  Hopefully, this big snow that we are expecting over the next few days will be the last!  Anyhow - I was home today and decided to play along with the Unity {Be Inspired} Challenge. 
You can use the sketch, the inspiration/color board or both.  I loved the vintage colors on this one - so that's what I went with. 



Here was the inspiration.  Seriously, those colors just make me happy.




And here are a couple of detail shots.
