Caardvarks - one of my new addictions!

Well after trying the Splitcoast card sketch challenge yesterday...I found a couple of card challenge blogs from one of my new "Sisters" Spike. Well these sites are awesome! The site that I chose to work from today is called Caardvarks, check it out.

The current challenge is two seperate sketches from the artists at 2 Sketches 4 You (I'll show you that site tomorrow). The first sketch by Laura is a nice simple layout. I was actually working on a set of cards to go into a tin and when I saw the sketch I immediately knew that my card would fit in. Here is the sketch and a photo of my card...

Here is the second sketch by Kazan. I had this stamp from The Artful Stamper that I hadn't been able to use yet, so I decided to base my card on the image. Here is the sketch and my interpretation...

I really love the way both these cards came out. If you are ever feeling in a slump and don't know where to start, I definately recommend picking a challenge and giving it a try.
