It is another StampTV blog hop. This is a sketch challenge which happen to be my favorite and Melissa gave us a great one for this hop!
You should have arrived from the sketch designer, Melissa Cash, with her interpretation of the sketch.
I made 2 cards for this hop. This first one is a square card that I made for my brother and sister in laws 40th anniversary. This one was fun to make. For the first time I ordered some of GKD clear stamps and it came on this clear plastic sheet. So I stamped the bird cage image from the True Love stamp set on this plastic sheet with Staz-on. It is popped up a little on the wonderful GKD patterned paper, this one is called Petals and Wings. I stamped the sentiment from Fanciful Tags on some Lemon Yellow. I also used the Bubblegum Pink at panels. 
I made this second card for the choir director at our church. She really loves my cards so I try to make special ones for her. This was stamped with one of the new stamp sets (that I got in the clear) called Grand Tags. I colored around the border and set the GKD pure luxury black and ivory off with a pink ribbon and a few gems. The background was made with stamping off once from the stamp set called Vintage Borders. These were fun cards to make and a great sketch to work with!
Now hop on over to visit Sharri Seffens she always has a wonderfully creative project to share. If you

Can't pick a favorite between the two. They're both great!
Both cards are beautiful. That bird cage with the love birds is oh so cute and the piano card is absolutely regal.
I don't think I can pick a favorite. I have a son who plays piano but I really like the soft colors on the floral

Great cards, loved them both but the piano was my favorite. I do have a bird cage that I haven't used that I think I'll give try. Angela
I love your grand piano card. Your choir director will love it. Great take on the sketch. Both are nice but that one is my fave.
stunning cards! Thanks for sharing!
Great cards. Good job!
Both your cards are stunning. I like the fact you took the sketch and used it in a more rectangle type of card and that the squares in the center worked well that way too.
Love both cards. The dp in the first one is beautiful and I love the card with the piano. The pink ribbon really sets it off. Thanks for sharing.

I love the cards. Very creative.
Wonderful cards, lovely mix of colors.
The first card is nice, but O my gosh, your choir director is going to swoon over the card you made for her! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite is the grand piano with the music background. I like the way you stamped off to allow the piano to take center stage! Brilliant!
You created two great cards but my favorite is the piano card.
Cute cards! Like the effect of the acetate layer for the birdcage, and the piano card is lovely!
Wowsers! Super sweet cards! Lucky recipients!

Both cards are so pretty!
GREAT cards! Your piano one really hits a *note* with me! :) BUT I also just used that same set for an anniversary card for my Hubby, 24 years on the 22nd! They will LOVE it!!! Well done! TFS!!
great cards. love the bird cage
Your creativity is awesome! I love the recycle/upcycle you did with the plastic sheet your stamps came on - the birdcage turned out fabulous! Both cards are really lovely! TFS!
Hugs,

Love the bold colors of the second one..very pretty.
Beautiful cards Miesje!
My favorite is the musical card! I have this stamp set on my wish list but after seeing your card I may have to order it sooner rather than later!
Your Brother and SIL and choir director are going to love their cards!
Two hard to pick a favorite here. They will be treasured. Personal cards are a hit. Ok I guess my fav is the one with the piano.
Great job on both!
Not sure which one I like more! They both make such a statement. Love birds happy in a cage as long as they are together and the piano that let's the music flow into your soul. Thanks.
Beautiful cards! Love the splash of pink on your musical card!
love the piano card very nice. TFS
Love it. A very unique patchwork-like card. The stitching along the edges adds characteristics. Thank you for sharing.
These are gorgeous, Miesje! I would never have thought of stamping on the plastic sheet - what a delicate effect! And your piano card is just stunning!
I especially like the second card with the pop of pink.
Miesje, both of your cards are wonderful but, my favoriteis the music card. The touch of pink makes it pop!
Lovely cards, especially the music card and that fabulous grand piano and the pink
Great cards, my favourite is the wonderful grand piano and the music background. TFS
good ideas with this sketch, it is so useful for many creations.
The spark of pink on the "grand" card adds so much to its beauty. The other card is great too. Thanks
I love both cards but especially the Happy Birthday one. I liked the "pop" you gave it with the pink. Great job!
