Challenge #354 - Colors

Greetings, Crafters! This week we have a color palette direct from nature (mostly because in January, I always want a reminder of spring):

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.

Challenge #351 - A Clean and Simple Seasonal Challenge

Hello!  Here at CAS Colours & Sketches we're getting ready for the upcoming holiday season by going back through our challenges from the past 11 months and turning them into seasonal creations.

You can choose to make your seasonal card using any of our color, sketch, or double challenges from 2019.  If you're feeling ambitious, you can even combine one of our sketch challenges with one of our color challenges!  The graphics from all of our challenges can be found by clicking on the Past Challenges tabs at the top of the page. Our usual guidelines for all of our challenges apply to this challenge.  Remember to keep your card clean and simple in style! 

We ask that in your blog post, you note which of our challenges you've used for your card, as our Design Team has done:

Holly - Challenge #342

Jeanne - Challenge #328

Karen - Challenge #332

Patricia - Challenges #347 and #350

Samantha - Challenge #349

YoonYoung - Challenge #314

We're excited to announce that we are adding two new members to our Design Team!  Please join us in giving a warm welcome to them:

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our challenge participants throughout the year.  We enjoy creating with you and we love seeing your artwork each week!  

We will be taking a holiday break after this week's challenge so that our challenge followers and our design team can spend time celebrating with their loved ones.  The winners of this week's challenge will be announced on December 20, 2019.  We'll be returning with new challenges on January 7, 2020.
