We have one last sketch challenge for you this month.  You're welcome to use it as it's drawn, flip it mirror-image, or even turn it on its side.

Challenge #367 - Colors

Hello there!  We really enjoyed seeing all the awesome cards our challenge participants created with last week's sketch challenge!  It was great seeing some new people taking part in our challenge along with our regular participants!  We hope you'll join us again this week.

This week marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, and we have some cheery nature-inspired colors for you to work with - the green of grass and leaves, the yellow of sunshine, and the blue of sky and water:



For our color challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colors.  We've used Stampin' Up color names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colors as closely as possible.  You may also use white, ivory, black, greys, browns, or metallics 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 colors.

Wow!  We had a lot of great entries in last week's color challenge!  Thank you to everyone who participated in it.  We loved seeing what everyone created!  Unfortunately, we had to eliminate a number of cards from our voting pool for the Weekly Winners because they included colors that were not part of our challenge.  Our challenge rules state "For our color challenges, you must use only the stated challenge colors, plus you may use white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, metallic, or black cardstock for card layers and those colors of ink for sentiments and image outlines."

The Design Team has chosen the following cards as our Weekly Winners.  In order of entry into the challenge, we congratulate:
