I missed the technique challenge on Monday so thought I'd put a dahlia on this sketch. My circles were a little too big. Moved the flower over and cut part of it off and it worked better. Sponged the petals with white (should have done it darker) so they would separate from the bg, Did some piercing and used my favorite chocolate ribbon. No sentiment as I'm not sure how I'll use it...just another for emergency stash.
Thanks for looking.
