Nothing immediately came to my mind for this sketch. It's funny how sketch challenges work. Sometimes the idea is in my mind as soon as I see it and the sketch gives me an easy starting point for a card. Other times it's a struggle but these are the cards that I often love the most at the end. They push me into directions I don't normally go and, at least for me, the results are unique. I don't know why I struggled with this one - but now I'm very happy with the results.
I used two different sets from Concord & 9th to get the flower and the stem. I added a small rectangle of yellow woodgrain at the base, then softened it with some gingham at the top. I left the stem white to keep the fresh look.
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

This is one fantastic card! I love the colors and papers you chose, but keeping the stem white with a matching flower center just makes the whole card fabulous!
