Happy middle of the week to you! I am the sketch hostess today over at Freshly Made Sketches and I hope I created a sketch that will be fun for everyone.
With that big panel, I thought it was the perfect time to pull out a big stamp. Dahlia XL from Power Poppy to be exact. I stamped the flower in Versafine Black and colored with my Zig markers. I don’t think I made an actual color combination for a dahlia, but hey…artistic interpretation! *smile* I just wanted to make a bright and happy card and I think this does the job. The sentiment is from the set too and works perfectly for the little panel on the sketch. For the yellow strip, I used some washi tape and put it on a piece of white paper. You get all the effect of the washi but it looks a bit more tailored.
I hope you enjoy the sketch and will consider joining us! The design team has done amazing things with my sketch…I’m always in awe of the different looks all from the same sketch. I’ll be back on Friday with a fun post for Newton’s Nook. Until then, have a great day!

ooohhh….gorgeous!
Such a striking flower! If there isn’t really a flower like this in real life, there should be. It’s perfect for this sketch, which was so fun to work with.
That is one gorgeous dahlia! Love the yellow and blue! Great sketch this week!
I love this card! That flower is just so big, bright and cheery! The blue and yellow look amazing together! This will definitely brighten someone’s day! Thanks for an amazing sketch this week!
Oh wow, this card is amazing, Jennifer! That flower looks stunning in blue and yellow. And I just love your sketch – I had so many ideas how to use it, it was tough to narrow it down to one!
What a lovely way to fill that big background. It’s a gorgeous flower – and I love the fresh look of the blue and yellow!
What a gorgeous take on the sketch! Love how the beautiful flower shows off in the corner.
Wow! I don’t know if this is an actual color of a dahlia but it should be! What a gorgeous card!
