Challenge # 35-Sketch

Last one from me, I've so enjoyed my month hosting these challenges, next week I hand over to another team member, but before I go here's one more sketch for you. I am intrigued as to what you can come up with for the smaller banner/ribbon - it doesn't have to be a sentiment!

Challenge # 34-Colour

Well, I'm into my third week as your hostess already..July is flying by.  Hope you are enjoying the hot and sunny weather if you are in the UK.-30 degrees today where I live!. Thank you for all your fantastic cards using our sketch challenge #33 for your inspiration, winners will be posted here next week.
Of course, this week we have a colour challenge for you. After my very modern choice of colours last time, today I've gone with much more muted shades, I think they look gorgeous together and I hope you do too.




As usual, it's not a problem if you don't have the exact Stampin' Up shades, just use whatever is in your stash that is close enough. Have a look at what the lovely ladies in the DT have come up with to inspire you..

Challenge #33-Sketch

Yes it's me, Louise, again, this time with a sketch challenge for you. By the way, thank you for all your entries last week, the winners will be announced soon, but I loved how you used those colours!
I hope this sketch is CAS enough for you! The rounded corners are optional, if you prefer sharp edges- go for it! Most of the DT forgot, extra points if you remember to get out those corner rounding punches!


Here are some fab examples from my lovely fellow DT members to get you started, there's quite a bit of washi tape around which I'm sure you will agree is quite trendy at the moment.  Can't wait to see all your creations so link up below and we'll stop by and leave you some love!

Challenge #30 - Colours

Morning crafters and welcome to another CAS- Colours & Sketches challenge - this week we have a lovely colour combination for you - come and take a look


We've used Stampin' Up colours but you don't have to - please just use the closest shades in your stash drawer. Remember please that this is a cards only challenge blog and that you must use some stamping on your cards. You are only permitted to use the colours provided - no other colours please except cream or white for your base and black ink for outlines and sentiments - thank you.

We've added a new design team member - please welcome Patricia!

Now, let's see what the design team has done with these colors!





  1. You must use stamping on your cards. Although the colour challenges use Stampin' Up colour names please feel free to substitute with colours you have in your stash - just make sure they are as close as possible. Please also note that the use of other colours in a colour challenge will mean that you will not qualify for a Top 3 position or prize should there be one - for example if the colours are Green , Yellow and Blue you may not add any other colour other than those. Using white or cream card stock as a base is allowed plus - the use of black ink for stamping sentiments and outlines is also allowed - but that's all!
  2. You must create a CLEAN AND SIMPLE card - sorry no scrapbook pages, tags or 3D projects etc.
  3. Upload your card in the linky provided - please do not link up your whole blog and please have a link to the challenge blog in your post.
