Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 #308

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.

I am sharing my first card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this month, I've been struggling with a throat infection for the last few weeks so between that and work something had to give. Hopefully I am on the mend now but it has meant I am a little late again.


I used sketch 308 to create this 7 inch square card which was for my sister-in-laws birthday last month.

The diamond in the centre was the perfect focal point for the Cardmaking Magic Landmark Occasions number dies.
The papers are from the Sparkling Spring Collection from Prima Marketing and I have mounted them on some silver mirror card from stash.
I used Spellbinders Lacy Squares and Classic squares dies.
The sentiment is using some metallic stickers
Sparkles came from The Hobby House
