I'm Back...

I'm back with my second post for today. 

I really wanted to play along in the Tis' The Season challenge.

The challenge was to use turquoise, black and silver on a Christmas

card. I thought that was so unique that I had to try it. I decided to combine 

it with the sketch challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch!

I had some white lace that I really wanted to use but I didn't think it would

stand out on a white card base so I decided to use black. Black is not an

easy color for me to work with and I knew that would be a challenge.

This card took me a few days. I'd play with it then set it aside only to come

back later or the next day and make changes and more changes. This

morning I finally figured it out and am happy with how it turned out. You'd think

with the sketch and the colors already picked for me that I would've had an

easier time with it.

I am happy with how it turned out in the end.

I didn't realize until now that there was an ornament in the inspiration

photo. I used the exact same one on my card.
