Happy Wednesday! Today I’m the sketch designer over at Freshly Made Sketches and I hope you will like my choice. I love square cards so I went with a square design (you can make it a rectangle, of course). I planted a big old circle in the middle which pretty much means you can put about anything there.
I opted for a big flower…the Big Blooms Daisy from Taylored Expressions to be specific. I started coloring this flower quite a while ago and it sat unfinished on my desk all through the holidays. Well, this was the week to finish it! I wanted to play with the idea of creating a white flower that had some depth and shading. I chose the Y and YR families to add the shadows and I’m pretty happy with the result. I added an orange center to give it a bolder look and then found it popped perfectly off a colored base. I chose Coastal Cabana (left from last week’s card) and added a bit of Distress Oxide ink with the Taylored Expressions Blender Brushes to give it more depth. The sentiment is from Picket Fence Studios and I added some sequins from my stash.
I’m off on a crafty adventure as of today and hopefully I’ll come back with some cards and new to me product to share. I hope you’ll join us with this sketch too. Make sure you go see all the amazing work from the DT. Until next time, have a great week!

Love your colour combination, stunning card.
I love your shading! Wish I could get into my to play, I’d be trying to copy your shading on a large sunflower I have, although I love your daisey!

Oh this card is just gorgeous! I love that big bloom! Love the background colour as well!! Just so stunning!
Great sketch this week Jen and I love your flower against the bright blue base. Your colouring of the petals is fabulous; I found myself looking at this for such a long time, admiring the detail – hopefully I can learn something!
Thanks for this great ketch, Jen ! I do love square cards too! You make a terrific card out of it. I totally love that big flower over the bright teal background! This is stunning!
