Challenge #143 - Sketch

Good afternoon everyone! It's Lizy here with the last challenge of September, and sadly, my last challenge for CAS Colours & Sketches. I have had a few difficult times over the last few months, and have decided to take some time to focus on myself, my son and my career. I'm sure I'll still be around crafting though!

So here is the last sketch from me...I think it's quite an open one with plenty of scope and I hope you enjoy using it!

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card. You're also welcome to change it from a square to a rectangular card.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:

Challenge #142 - Colours

Hello and happy Thursday! Are you ready for another challenge? This week we have colours and I do think these ones may lend themselves well to a masculine card...what do you think?

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 white, ivory, kraft, or black for your card base and layers, for image outlines, or for sentiments. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Challenge #140 - Colours

Hello everyone and welcome to September's challenges! It's Lizy here with your challenges for the month, and we're kicking off with this colour challenge. I know it's almost autumn, but I'm not quite ready to let go of the soft summer colours just yet!

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 white, ivory, kraft, or black for your card base and layers, for image outlines, or for sentiments.

Each month, the names of all the Weekly Winners from the previous month are put into a drawing.  One name is selected and that person is invited to be a Guest Design Team member for an upcoming month of challenges.  Our Guest Designer for the month of September, selected from our July Weekly Winners, is Biggi! She has been a frequent participant in our challenges throughout the last twelve months, and we're so happy to have her as our Guest Designer!  Here is what she's made with this week's colours:
