What’s Black, White and …
What’s black, white and full of petals? A modern medley of dahlias, that’s what. Well, it’s really vanilla but that just doesn’t sound as good. Do you remember the riddle, “What’s black and white and read all over?” In this case, it’s this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch #299.
This week you have a choice between a round or square project. If you’re really ambitious, you could create both.
I didn’t have a lot of time so I chose a simple stamp set, Regarding Dahlias. Whenever time is of the essence you can’t go wrong with stamps that have both images and sentiments all in one set.

Regarding Dahlias wasn’t on my wish list but after seeing what some people have done with it I was sold! Or maybe I should say enabled. The dahlia can be as intricate or simple as you like. Can you see it layered and colored? Wow!
Another thing that makes or breaks a quick card is the choice of Designer Series Paper. I needed something that would do most of the heavy lifting for me and the beautiful patterns of Modern Medley were perfect. Basic Black and Very Vanilla are perfectly elegant together. With patterns like these extra embellishments aren’t even needed.

Layer the dahlia and people will think you’ve spent a lot of time on this card. Shhh, don’t tell them how easy it really is. If you look closely, you’ll see that the petals don’t line up exactly. Would you have even known if you weren’t told?
