Challenge #234 - Colours

Hello!  It's Patricia here, with a color challenge to start off the month of August.  I've chosen some colors that we haven't used in our challenges recently.


We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to jump start your creativity:

Challenge #233 - Sketch

Good Morning,
This is my last week hosting the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenges.  It's been especially fun seeing your July makes.  This week is a sketch.


Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.  Use your imagination - we just need to be able to see the sketch reflected in your design!

Challenge #232 - Colours

Cathy here with this week's CC&S Challenge.  I tend to using bold colours in my cards rather than soft pastels and am pushing myself to feature the pastel colors rather than use them as an accent.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you all do with this combination.   Your work is sure to be inspiring!
