Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.

Weekly Winners - Colour Challenge #294

Thank you to everyone who participated in last week's challenge!  A lot of lovely cards were created  using our challenge colors.  Unfortunately, a few entries that did not follow our Challenge Rules had to be eliminated from the Design Team's Weekly Winners voting.  Due to the limited number of submissions, we have only three Weekly Winners this time, and in order of entry into the challenge, we congratulate:





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



If you haven't played along with us yet this week, there is still time to join in our current sketch challenge: #295.  If you entered our Design Team call last week, you must also participate in this week's challenge so that we can see your work in both colour and sketch challenges.  You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Monday, October 29, 2018 to link your card to the challenge post.  We'd love to have you join us!
