Challenge #122 - The Double

Because there are five Thursdays in April Louise gets another week to be your hostess and we have our regular double challenge, love it or hate it, where we ask you to use the sketch AND the colours.

While we've indicated the colours using Stampin' Up names, you do not have to use Stampin' Up products for your cards. Please do use colours that are close. You may also use white, ivory, kraft, or black for your card layers, for image outlines, or for sentiments. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card, won't make much difference this week -lol!

Here is some inspiration from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:

Challenge #121 - Sketch

Hello there! Welcome to another new challenge, this week a sketch designed by our hostess for this month Louise, who says "I am really enjoying my month as hostess and I hope you are lovin' the challenges too". This time we're having a thing about triangles, you don't often see them in layouts so we thought we would give you all something a bit different. If you are wondering about the winners from last week's colour challenge ( and there were lots of gorgeous cards in the gallery, so thank you) just check back here after the weekend and in the meantime why not give this one a go?

Weekly Winners - Challenge #118

Thank you to everyone who participated in last week's color challenge!  We loved seeing what everyone created!

Along with the other recent changes to our challenge blog, we've decided to change up our weekly honours voting.  The Design Team will continue to vote for our favourite entries, but the amount of cards we will feature as Weekly Winners will depend on the number of submissions to the challenge, rather than simply limiting our honours to the three cards that receive the most votes.  This means that the more entries into the challenge, the more winners we'll have!

Without further ado, the Design Team has chosen the following cards as our Weekly Winners for our monochromatic greens challenge.  In order of entry into the challenge, we congratulate:

#7 - Kath 

#9 - Jan Clothier

#10 - Stephanie L


#13 - Birgit

#14 - stempelfrida
