Challenge #46 - 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:

The sketch is designed for an A2 card (5.5" x 4.25"), but if you prefer to make square cards, feel welcome to tweak it!  You're also welcome to turn the sketch on its side if you'd like.  So long as you retain the basic elements of the triangular panels with the block over top of them, you're good to go.

Here is what the Design Team has made with this sketch:

Jacqueline

Karen

Lizy

Challenge #45 - Colours

Hello everyone!  It's Patricia here, and I'm excited to be your challenge hostess for the month of October!

We're going to start the month off with a color challenge:

 

These colors have a special meaning to me.  Today my husband and I are celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary!  Our bridesmaids wore ruby red dresses, and the men in the wedding party wore charcoal grey tuxedos.  So I've chosen colors that best represent the wedding colors.  I threw the light blue in there for "something blue".  Soft Sky is one of my favorite Stampin' Up colors of all time and I'm super happy that they brought it back into the product line! 

As always, you do NOT need to use Stampin' Up products to make your cards for our challenges.  Simply use whatever you have in your craft supplies that is closest to these colors.  We'd love to see what you create!

Now, how about some inspiration from the Design Team?  Jacqueline is taking a well-deserved break for a little while, and we wish her all the best.  We are delighted to have Lizy joining our team - she's been a frequent participant in our challenges, and we love her work!

I love playing in challenges - rely on them really! Coming up with my first sketch challenge was a bit intimidating. I decided to find a layout that I have used a few times and make a sketch from it. I hope you find this a versatile and useful sketch!

Here is inspiration from the design team:

Challenge #41 - Colours

September is a new month, and that brings us a new challenge hostess. Karen, from the Design Team, will be your hostess this month.

This week is a colour challenge. We hope to see you play along!

Rainbows are my favorite color! With the graphic above, my intent was to show that you could do any value: pastel, bright, or jewel.

I'm also looking forward to seeing all the ways you can interpret this "color". As long as the card has 5 or more different colors, it counts! The colors don't have to be arranged like a rainbow, you can just use lots of colors on the card. I hope this makes sense, but if not, feel free to ask question in the comments!

Louise is taking a break this month and this week we have said a sad farewell to the lovely Kylie - thanks for all your hard work in our past challenges. Now here is some inspiration from the rest of the design team:
