Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card. Just remember to keep your card CAS!

Challenge #576 - Colour Challenge

Happy January, clean and simple friends!  We are back with our first challenge of 2026, hosted by Nancy.  She has chosen some deep and rich colours to get your New Year creative juices flowing!

For our colour challenges, you must use all 3 challenge colours. You may also use subtle shades of brown or grey but only in support of the challenge colours, they should not be one of the featured colours 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. 

Please remember to keep your card CAS! As a reminder, 'clean and simple' (CAS) is defined as "uncluttered, with a lot of white or open space, and minimal layers and embellishments". Subtle texture or shading is okay as long as it does not distract from the main focal point of your card. 

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

Nancy -- your host!






Our challenge requirements are listed in the Challenge Rules tab. Please read them carefully before linking your card. Challenge end time is 7:00 pm Eastern US time Monday, January 19, 2026.

We'd love to have you join us in the gallery and look forward to seeing what you create!
