Challenge #553 - Colours

Hey There Everyone,

Suzy here!  I am hosting the challenges for February.  Our first challenge is the color challenge. I have picked three fabulous colors for you to play with.  I thought these colors would make a great Valentine, but don't limit yourself to that.

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

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

Challenge #551 - colours

 Hello crafters and welcome to a new year of CAS colour and sketch challenges! 

We can't wait to create some amazing cards and hope you will be inspired to join in with us. We'll be making a small adjustment to a fortnightly schedule, so every other Tuesday we'll kick off a new challenge alternating a colours challenge with a sketch challenge, posting at 7am Eastern US time.

This is Rachel and I'm happy to be your host for this month. The first challenge is a colours challenge. 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.
