SSW2 February 2026 #320 and 321

 Hello and welcome to our latest challenge.

We have two new sketches for you this month, and also a retro sketch.

You can enter up to three projects per month, so why not try the new sketches and a retro sketch? We would love to see your entries.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our last challenge. We visited so many lovely cards on your sites, and we'll be back on the 18th of February with another post announcing our winner and the Top 3 cards, along with some additional inspiration.

So without further ado, here are the sketches for February.

and a retro sketch.
I have gone back to February 2016 this month and chosen sketch # 83


Remember, these sketches can be flipped and or turned; it's entirely up to you as long as we can see the original sketch in your card. 

Now onto some inspiration.
First up is our Guest Designer, Alma, with this card using
