Happy Friday! Welcome to a new TGIF Sketch Challenge!!! When I first saw this sketch, I was drawn to the pretty filigree in the background. In fact, the whole sketch looked very elegant to me, so I decided to stick with that theme and create an entire card just using white and gold. I used the Perfect Parcels Dies to cut the filigree from Whisper White cardstock, and then I… Read More »

It’s TGIF time! This week, TGIF Challenges has a color challenge including Basic Black, Merry Merlot, and Very Vanilla. I have to admit that this color combination stumped me a bit. It really only includes one “color” (Merry Merlot), as the other two are neutrals. In addition, both Basic Black and Merry Merlot are very dark … not a combination I would typically choose. With that in mind, I decided… Read More »
