An {Unlikely Yellow Wildflower} Sketch For You To Try

Well, I'm still riding the wave of the Verve Release from last night. After I said goodnight on the chat thread (ya'll have to go back and see all the amazing sample cards and projects the Divas created again!), I immediately went to work on this card for today's Sketch For You To Try from the "famous" Jen del Muro. It's a really fun and easy sketch that I didn't think I'd like at first, but I have to say, I think this one's a keeper! I will definitely be using it again soon.

Since my Verve stuff was still out on my desk, a.k.a., it was getting late and I didn't have time (or the want) to color anything, I went for a sentiment from the Feel the Sun set for my main image. The green flowery paper has been calling out my name and saying "use me!" for the last couple of days, so I finally gave in, marrying it with the very last of my Groovy Guava from SU! (I really liked that color, so if ya'll don't, send it to me!) and a little Ruby Red. Obviously not much planning went into this card ahead of time, so I just pulled things together as I went along. When it came time to add the little embellishment from the sketch (represented by the heart), I put my bucket o'flowers on my desk and when I saw these yellow felt flowers from Hobby Lobby, that was all she wrote. I then fell in love with this card. The little unlikely yellow flower made me swoon.

Hey guess what!? We have some new SFYTT sisters to introduce! Ya'll will now have some more inspiration to draw from before you play in Jen's Sketch For You To Try Challenge every Saturday.
