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 |
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.

A beautiful monochromatic Christmas card in icy blue and a fabulous birthday card
Well I am sure they are well chuffed to get two for the price of one Chris. Well done you. I absolutely love your quick and easy Christmas one and need to remember that simple is stunning, well when you do it lol. The second one sounds and looks perfect for your DIL. So beautifully coloured too.
Congrats on your GDT Chris and two beautiful cards, I love the second one very much, fabulous sketches to follow, i wish I could stay on the path of sketches but always seem to wander off in my own direction, I'm going to be so much trouble for my kids when I get even older!!..

Congratulations on your guest designer spot! I love how you created two completely different cards from the sketches. The monochromatic Christmas design is so elegant with the white embossed trees, soft blue tones, and delicate embellishments, while the birthday card is wonderfully personal with the beautifully colored image and coordinating papers that perfectly reflect your daughter-in-law's interests.
Beautiful cards for your guest designer spot Chris, love the books image on the birthday card I’m sure your DIL loved it.
