Challenge # 262 - Colours

Hi Fiona here. I'll be hosting all the challenges this month (March), and I hope that they will inspire you to take part. You'll find the link at the bottom of this post.

Being the first week of the month, it's time for a colour challenge, and here's what I have for you.


For our colour challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colours.  You may also use neutral  colours; however, the challenge colours should be the most noticeable ones featured on your card.  We use Stampin' Up colour names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' products as long as you match the challenge colours as closely as possible.

Our design team has created the following cards to inspire you:

Hello there!  It's the last Tuesday of the month, which means we have a sketch challenge for you this week.  Patricia has drawn up this one that practically shouts "clean and simple" in design:


Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.  You're also welcome to squoosh it into a square card format.  Just keep the proportions of the shaded areas approximate to how they are drawn.

Challenge #260 - Colours

Hello there!  It's Patricia here again, welcoming you to another challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. 

Here in Virginia where I live, the weather has been very changeable over the last week, with high temperatures around 70°F last Thursday, sleet and freezing rain last Saturday, and today and tomorrow it's supposed to be in the low to mid 70s again!  Hopefully this week's colors will make us all think of springtime, which should be on its way soon. 

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 for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.
