Challenge #50 - Top Three Winners

We had some fabulous cards entered into our Color Challenge #50 using Soft Sky, Very Vanilla and Soft Suede!  The Design Team did not have an easy time making our decision this week.  There were more than three cards that we loved equally, but in the end, since this is a challenge for Clean and Simple styled cards, we had to choose the three we felt best fit the idea of "clean and simple".  In order of entry into the challenge, they are...

Good morning, and Happy Halloween to those of you who observe it!

Because October has a fifth Thursday, we have a double challenge for you this week!  You'll need to use the following colors:

and you'll need to combine them with this sketch:

As with all of our color challenges, the Stampin' Up color names are simply a reference point.  If you don't have these colors, please use whatever you already own that is close to them.  You are welcome to turn the sketch on its side, and you can also choose to tweak it into a square if you'd prefer.

Here is what the Design Team has created this week:

Jacqueline 

Karen 

Lizy 

Louise

Patricia
