Challenge #352 - Colors

Hello!  Welcome to a new year of challenges here at CAS Colours & Sketches!  If you are new to us, we are a challenge blog dedicated to the Clean and Simple style of card making, and we alternate each week between color challenges and sketch challenges.  If you have joined in our challenges in the past, we're glad you're here again!

Our Design Team member Karen is our first challenge host of 2020, and here's what she has for us:

Hope your New Year is off to a fabulous start! I know I am ready to get back into a regular schedule! Starting us off this year is a color challenge:

For our color challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colors. You may also use neutral colors; however, the challenge colors should be the most noticeable ones featured on your card. We use Stampin' Up color names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' products as long as you match the challenge colors as closely as possible.

Our design team has created the following cards to inspire you:

Weekly Winners - Seasonal Challenge #351

Thank you to everyone who got into the holiday spirit with us in last week's challenge! The Design Team loved seeing all of the creative entries!

The intent of our Seasonal Challenge was to have our participants turn our challenges from 2019 into festive cards.  We felt that for our Weekly Winners voting, we needed to focus our attention on the clean and simple cards that best represented the sketch challenge or color challenge chosen by the participants.  With that in mind, here are our Winners, listed in order of entry into the challenge:

#1 - Evgeniya

 

#4 - Jennie Maier
(Jennie deserves an additional round of applause for using a sketch challenge and a color challenge!)

 

#10 - Lori Tecler

 

#12 - A. Rose

 

#13 - Dawn

Wonderful job, everyone! Please feel welcome to copy our winners' badge and display it on your blog:
