Our super talented Crew member, Laura, runs a fabulous card sketch blog with an equally talented blogger, Kazan. You have probably already heard of 2 Sketches 4 You because it has taken the challenge blog world by storm! Run over there, check it out, and you'll see why.
We are thrilled that Laura and Kazan have generously supplied the Caardvarks readers with two exclusive sketches for this challenge. Create your take on the sketch(es) and link us to your work in the comments section of this post by August 3rd at Midnight. We'll add your cards to Laura's Sketch Gallery or Kazan's Sketch Gallery during the challenge. The winner of this challenge will receive a Guest Designer spot here, at Caardvarks! The winner will design for our August 20th challenge.
Ok, so here we go - take a look at these terrific sketches and the Crew's interpretations;
