Guest Design for Sweet Sketch Wednesday

 Good morning, I  have two posts today, first up are couple of cards I made as a Guest Designer for Sweet Sketch Wednesday2 , I was sent 2 sketches to choose from, both so lovely I decided to make a card for each.

Sketch #336

                                                    A Christmas card using Sketch #336

This one was very quick to make. I used a piece of design paper from The Works cut into sections as per the sketch, stamped and embossed the Lavinia trees in white, matted the sections onto a slightly larger panel of toning blue cardstock, added the bow and pearls and the stamped sentiment.

Sketch #337

A birthday card using sketch #337. I needed a birthday card for my Daughter in Law, and had chosen an image from Mirtillamente, Take a Moment, which I thought fitted the bill perfectly as she's an avid reader, loves herbal teas and her house is full of scented candles. I coloured the image with markers and followed the sketch to complete the card using papers from The Works and a scrap of green book patterned paper that was a long ago magazine freebie. 

I'd like to thank the lovely Ladies from SSW2 for inviting me to be a guest designer and also for the beautiful sketches. If you hop over to their challenge, you will find plenty more inspiration.
