SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 3 JULY 2024

Good morning welcome to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, welcome back to our followers and warm welcome if you are new and visiting us for the first time. 

I'm Kathie from New Zealand, as I'm typing this post early on a wintery Sunday morning it's 30th June and I've just realised that I've been with Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 for the last 14 years.  My first posting as a Design Team member was posted on 30th June 2010.  Wow, how time flies and how my work has changed over the years.

Last month I visited all of your entries which are amazing and we'll be back on the 17th of July with the winner and Top 3 for June and more inspiration from our design team.

This month we have two new sketches I created last year, it's fun making a card with what I had in mind a year ago.

Remember these sketches can be rotated or flipped but we still should be able to recognise them from the original sketch.

Sketch # 281


Sketch #282   

These sketches are easy, and I hope you can join us this month.  We have another sketch at the end of this post from our archives if you need more inspiration.

We hope we inspire you a little with our work and look forward to visiting your blogs, with numerous entries.

And now here is the fantastic inspiration from our wonderful design team.

And for one of our participants, there is a little surprise and a place as a guest designer to win.  So it's worth playing along with us!!!
