I didn't get a chance to do yesterday's color challenge, so I combined it with today's sketch challenge.
I paper crimped the center of the red panel and then adhered two black houndstooth embossed black pieces of scrap to get the strips of the sketch challenge.
I stamped the Pick a Petal onto barely banana cardstock with summer sun and then sponged summer sun at the base of the flower.
Card measures 5 1/4" square.

Yikes, girl, talk about creativity ... it's all right here. What a fabulous creation you've come up with for not one, but 2, challenges. That red and black are gorgeous together, and then you added another amazing color - yellow. Wow, this is definitely a stunning card with amazing flair.
