Challenge #238 - Double

August is squeezing in another Tuesday - and you know what that means: Timeless Tuesday! Today we have a throwback sketch (#37) and a color scheme using some of our favorite retired colors. We can't wait to see what you pull together using both the sketch and the colors!

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.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card. You can also stretch out the square format into a rectangular card.  So long as we can see the basic elements of the sketch, it's all good.

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

Challenge #236 - Colors

Hi, folks; Karen here. When I came up with this color scheme I was in the throes of summer. It has cooled down, but this scheme is still inspiring to me. I hope it will be to you as well!

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.

Weekly Winners - Colour Challenge #234

Uh oh - it looks like our last colour challenge was a bit more challenging than some of our others, or else people were busy with summer vacations or back-to-school shopping, because our participation numbers were a little lower than usual.  Thank you to everyone who joined in it!  We always enjoy seeing what our participants create.  The Design Team has chosen the following cards as our Weekly Winners.  In order of entry into the challenge, we congratulate:

#1 - Birgit/Biggan

#8 - Jen W.

#10 - Skye

Well done, ladies! Please feel welcome to copy our winners' badge and display it on your blog:

Some great cards have already been entered into our current challenge: #235 - Sketch.  If you haven't played along with us yet, there is still time to join in! You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time/11:00 p.m. London U.K. time Monday, August 14 to link your card to the challenge post. We'd love to have you join us!

Challenge #235 - Sketch

Hello again!  We're glad to have you visit our challenge blog, and we hope you'll join in and play along with us!  Patricia is our hostess again this week, and she's drawn up this sketch for us:

You may use any shape except a rectangle or a square in place of the circular shape, so long as it gives the look of being cut off the edge of the card.  You're welcome to flip the sketch mirror-image, or rotate it 90 degrees in either direction.  Although the sketch is drawn up as a rectangular card, if you would prefer to make a square card, that's OK, too!
  
Check out what the CC&S Design Team and August Guest Designer have done with the sketch:
