Weekly Winners: Colour Challenge #161

Thank you to everyone who participated in last week's challenge!  We didn't receive as many entries as usual for this one, I guess that purple is not everyone's colour, but we still had some beautiful entries! Voting was very close but eventually we decided on the following winners for this week's challenge:

#01 Lindsey

#02 Maaike

#12 Maura

We'd love to have you join us!

Challenge #162: Sketch

Welcome to my last week as hostess for a while at CAS Colours and Sketches. I've really enjoyed myself this month and hope you have too! As it's the fourth week of the month I have a sketch for you.

Please feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card or choose a rectangular card blank in place of my square design.  If you would like to substitute the flower and the rectangle shapes in the design, you may do so as long as the original sketch can be seen clearly in your finished card.

Can you tell I'm just longing for Spring to arrive! However, there are lots of opportunities to make all sorts of different cards with this sketch.  Here are just some ideas from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:

Our challenge requirements are listed in the Challenge Rules tab.  Please read them carefully before linking your card.  Happy crafting!

Challenge End Time:  6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time/11:00 p.m. London U.K. time Wednesday 2nd March 2016.

Challenge #161: Colours

Welcome back to another challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches. The weather is still grey and miserable in the North of the UK but it is half term, good news for all of us that work in schools! Thank you for all your wonderful entries and comments for last week's sketch challenge covering a huge range of occasions; the winners will be announced on Monday!  I've returned to a cool colour palette for my choice this week.

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. Lighter and darker shades of the three challenge colours, such as derived from watercoloring an image, are allowed. You may also use white, ivory, kraft, or black for your card base and layers, for image outlines, or for sentiments. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to use as a starting point for your creation:

Challenge #160: Sketch

Welcome back to another week of challenges here at CAS Colours and Sketches. Thank you for all your lovely entries into last week's colour challenge; this week I have a sketch for you and I hope I haven't made it too taxing! 

Please feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card or choose a rectangular card blank in place of my square design. The circles (which differ in size slightly) can be replaced by other shapes but the overall design must be adhered to in order to be considered for our weekly winners' spot.

The design team have come up with lots of different ways of interpreting the sketch. I hope you're inspired to play along with us and link up your card below:
