Challenge #92 - Colours

Louise here again, for the third weekly challenge in September. These colours are, I believe, a CAS addict's dream, so much you can do with black, white and a splash of colour (yellow in this case)!

Deadline: Wednesday, 24 September, 2014, 18.00 GMT

While we've indicated the colours using Stampin' Up names, you do not have to use Stampin' Up products for your cards. Please do use colours that are close. You may also use black or white on your card. However, in order to be considered for our weekly Top Three winners, you must not use any other colours.

Hello and welcome to a new month at CAS Colours and Sketches. I am Louise and I will be your hostess for September. I am feeling a little down as, for me, the summer is mostly over, I'm back at school with the kids, the holidays behind us and long, lazy days in the sun no longer possible. My colours are based on the end of Summer, the good thing is Autumn is just around the corner and there's lots of time to craft! I can't wait to see the beautiful cards that are posted in our link up gallery.
