Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 February 2025

Hello and welcome back dear crafty friends,

 I'm Doris - known as Kleido - and this month I'm your hostess.

Every month we have 2 amazing sketches for you, designed by Kathie, which you can also rotate and/or flip - but we should still be able to recognize them.

If you still need more inspiration we have a sketch from our archives too.

We hope we can inspire you a little with our work and look forward to your participation.

Sketch #296

Sketch #297

Our guest designer this month is Heather from Wire Wrapture. Here is the card she created using Sketch #296

We will share Heather's card using sketch 297 in our winner's post on the 19th.

And these fantastic inspirations were created by our design team.
