 Sketch Challenge March 18, 2026

Been awhile since I did the sketch challenge! This one caught my eye, but I did make one slight modification in that my horizontal strip goes all the way across. Something in my brain needed this symmetry, to show on both sides of the focal panel!

I've had this yellow embossed background prepared for quite some time, so I don't recall which cardstock I used or the brand of the embossing folder.

I stamped the rose using two colors of yellow and fussy cut it out of white cardstock. I cut down a white panel and used a corner rounder on all sides to match the sketch. I stamped the sentiment in black. This piece was layered over the red strip. I really like a yellow and red combo.

I stamped and colored the ladybugs, wanting some extra red to balance the horizontal strip. I used black jewels for the heads of the ladybugs.

What a cheerful card! I love the red and yellow. The blend of colors in your rose is perfect, and the ladybugs add a touch of whimsy. Fun!!

The yellow embossing gives such a bright, textured foundation for your design, and the two‑tone rose looks beautifully shaped against it. The full‑length red strip adds great balance, and the little ladybugs are a perfect touch of whimsy that ties the whole palette together.
