A quiet week at home has been anything but. Two kids starting exams on Thursday and we are in the throws of completing University Applications for my son. It is a balmy -18 Fahrenheit in Toronto tonight with the wind chill. So to keep warm I found a moment to create a card for this week's RetroSketches challenge. This week's sketch is based on a beautiful card made by Jen Mitchell.

Cardstock: Vintage Cream, Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Simply Chartreuse
Stamps: Funky Florals, Think Big Favorites #13
