Now, I am the first person to admit that I am the last person to think of when thinking "elegant", but I went and got all elegant with this sketch. At least my version of elegant. Black and gold and art deco.
Have you noticed art deco becoming quite trendy? This VIGNETTE: Art Deco Border Builders set is one versatile set, and it screamed to me to use it when I saw the sketch! Nothing tricky here, just lots of gold embossing helped along with a few pencil lines as guides.
So have a gander at the great samples from the DT and our guest designer, Kathy S, and then join us for this sketch challenge. There are digi prizes to be had. And a guest designer spot next month. Join us!
BTW, since it's CAS over at Addicted to Stamps and More, I'm in!
