Design Team Call and Challenge #522 - Colours

We are looking for some new members

to add to our Design Team!

Our challenge blog is dedicated to creating greeting cards in the Clean and Simple style of crafting, alternating between color challenges and sketch challenges. Design Team responsibilities include making cards for our challenges and sharing them on your own social media, commenting on challenge entries and voting for our Fabulous Favorites, and creating challenge ideas and acting as our host for a minimum of one month during the year.

If you would like to be considered for a position on our team, you must participate in our October color challenge and our October sketch challenge so that we can see your work in both types of challenges. Please add the letters "DT" after your name when you link your cards for the two challenges, and make sure that your cards follow our Challenge Rules. Applicants will be contacted during the month of November. Our new members will start on the team full-time in January 2024.

Hi Crafters! It's Lucy here and I'm so happy to be hosting the October challenges here at CAS Colours & Sketches.

To kick things off this month we have a colour challenge and I have chosen to channel summery vibes with my colour choice which matches the weather we've been having here in England perfectly! 

For our colour challenges, you must use all 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:

Challenge #520 - Colours

Hello crafters! It's Rachel here and I'm so happy to be hosting this month! 

For our colours challenge, I've chosen colours that are quite summery. Even though it's September, who doesn't want to reminisce about the beach, the outdoors, and summer fun? For me, we're just heading into spring, shaking off the winter cold, and looking forward to summer!

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.
