Please feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card, but remember to keep it CAS (clean and simple).

Challenge #209 - Colours

Hey! And welcome to the first February challenge here at CAS Colours & Sketches. It's Jane here acting as your hostess for this month and I'm kicking off with some sweet and pretty pinks.


Did I have Valentine's Day in mind when I chose this trio? You bet I did! But that doesn't mean you have to make a love themed card, let your imagination and creativity take you to any place you like. All we ask is that you keep you card CAS (clean & simple) and follow our guidelines for colour challenges.

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 neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

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








Our February Guest Designer has been participating in our challenges over the last several months, and was chosen from our December Weekly Winners.  We think you'll like her creativity as much as we do!  Please give Marsha Reed a warm welcome!  Here's her fun take on this week's colours:

Challenge #208 - Double

Welcome to Timeless Tuesday! We've decided to add a little twist to our 5th week double challenges. Timeless Tuesdays will bring you a new color scheme using retired colours paired with a past CC&S sketch. As always, you'll need to use both the color scheme and the sketch on your card to qualify for our weekly winners.

For our first Timeless Tuesday, I thought I'd bring back one of my favorite retired colors: Sage Shadow. I paired the scheme up with a sketch I designed a few years ago: #42.


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 neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.
