Challenge #139 - Sketch

Hello!  It's Patricia here again.  I've had a lot of fun being your challenge hostess throughout the month of August.  This week we're closing out the month with a sketch:

You're welcome to manipulate the sketch into a square, or to rotate it if that works better for the design of your card. Feel free to add a sentiment wherever you think it looks best on your card.  You can use any shape in place of the stars, so long as we can see the basic idea of the shapes forming a chevron.

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

Challenge #137 - Sketch

Hello, crafting friends!  It's time for a new sketch challenge here at CAS Colours & Sketches!  Here's what Patricia has come up with for this week:

The sketch was inspired by a terrific card made by Laurie, who blogs at Stamping Up North.  She dressed her card up with some floral embellishments, which I omitted when I drew up the sketch, to keep it more clean and simple. Although I drew the sketch for an A2 sized card (4.25" x 5.5"), you're welcome to make your card any size, or even tweak it into a square. You may also flip the sketch mirror-image or rotate it onto its side. Changing the shapes to something other than circles is OK, so long as you use something reasonably round, without corners (see Jane's and Louise's cards below for examples).  Just remember to keep your card clean and simple in design, since that's the main idea of our challenges.

Let's see what the design team has created this week:

Challenge #136 - Colours

Hello everyone!  Welcome to a new month of challenges at CAS Colours & Sketches!  I'm Patricia, and I'm excited to be your challenge hostess this month.  If you're new here, we hope you'll join in the fun and creativity.  If you're a returning participant, we're glad you're back with us again!

Our first challenge this month brings us a soft colour scheme:

We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use white, ivory, kraft, or black for your card base and layers, for image outlines, or for sentiments.

Each month, the names of all the Weekly Winners from the previous month are put into a drawing.  One name is selected and that person is invited to be a Guest Design Team member for an upcoming month of challenges.  I'm delighted to announce that our Guest Designer for the month of August, selected from our June Weekly Winners, is Magic Flying Boots!  Her cards have been brightening our gallery over the last several months and we're sure you'll enjoy seeing her artwork.  Here is what she's made with this week's colours:
