For the unfamiliar, a sketch challenge starts with a block drawing which you then adapt with added elements to make your card. Over at Less is More, the clean and simple card challenge blog, we have set sketch 26. Here are two cards based on the sketch.
I had a search through my stamps for a suitable image for the background (yellow) panel and came across an early Tim Holtz ATC-sized stamp with the map and car on it. This then took me on another tack for my bonus card and I raided my ATC collection, finding this napkin decoupage of poppies. It was then a matter of matting the images and adding the self-made sentiment stamps.

Two fabulous cards, Neil ! One masculine with this old car and map on it and a feminine one with these beautiful poppies. A versatile sketch, perfect for any occasion !
Love the map and car image and the way you colored it. The sentiment is the perfect finish. The poppy card is also wonderful with that gorgeous red and yellow color scheme.
