Challenge #225 - The Double

Hello!  It's Patricia here, bringing you this week's challenge.  Since it's the fifth Tuesday in the month, that makes it a Timeless Tuesday Double challenge!  This week's colors are all retired Stampin' Up colors, and they are paired with one of our previous CC&S sketches, #87.  You'll need to use the colors and the sketch together to meet our challenge this time!

You're welcome to rotate or mirror-reverse the sketch when creating your card.  Although we've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference, 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.

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


We give our Guest Designers a break on Timeless Tuesday weeks.  Check back with us next Tuesday to find out who our June Guest Designer will be!

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 Monday, June 5, 2017

Challenge #222 - Sketch

Hi folks, Karen here. May and June are fun months where we get to enjoy the summer and just host 1 week. This week you get me :)

I am bringing you a sketch. It is actually based on a card I made earlier this year and a little birdie told me it would make a good challenge. I hope you have fun with it!
