Challenge #59 - Double

We are squeaking in an extra Thursday this month - that means a Double Challenge. Not only do we have a color challenge, but also a sketch - and you need to use them both!


Deadline: Wednesday, February 5, 2014, 18.00 GMT

While we've indicated the colours using Stampin'Up names, you do not have to use Stampin'Up products for your cards. Please do use colours that are close.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.

I know these double challenges are, well, doubly challenging - but you can do it!

Here is some inspiration from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:












Now it's your turn! You have until 18:00 GMT Wednesday, February 5 to share your artwork with us. We'd love to see what you create!

Please remember our challenge rules:
  • You must create a Clean and Simple styled card - sorry, but no scrapbook pages, tags, 3D projects, etc.
  • You must use stamping on your card.
  • Submit your entry using the linky tool provided below.
