Challenge #216 - Sketch

Happy Tuesday!  We're closing out the month of March with another sketch challenge.  Patricia has drawn this one up based on a card she made earlier this year.


The sketch is designed for an A2 card (4.25" x 5.5"), but if you prefer to make square cards, feel welcome to tweak it!  You may also turn the sketch on its side if you'd like.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to jump start your creativity:

Challenge #215 - Colours

Hello there!  The third Thursday of the month means it's time for another colour challenge here at CAS Colours and Sketches.  Patricia is our hostess again, and here are our colours this time:


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 neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Let's see what the CC&S Design Team and March guest designer have done with these bold, bright colours:

Challenge #214 - Sketch

Hello, crafting friends!  It's time for the first sketch challenge of March 2017.  Here is what our challenge host, Patricia, has drawn up for your consideration:


Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card. You're also welcome to change it from a rectangular format to a square.  So long as we can see the basic elements of the sketch, you're good!  Just remember to keep it clean and simple in design, since that's the main idea of our challenges.
