Hello! It’s time for a new color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week we have a nice winter-inspired trio of colors for you to work with.
I decided to use these cute birdies, and I colored them in the two shades of purple using colored pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits. To get the sky background around the birds, I put a mask over the birds, and framed them with a circular mask. Then I blended some sky blue ink into the circle. I’d used the circular mask with red ink several years ago so I was a little surprised that the red ink reactivated and blended with the sky blue to form a purple edge to the circle – however, since it worked with the challenge colors, it’s a happy accident!
Be sure to check out what the rest of the CC&S Design Team has done with these colors! Then share your own card with us by linking it to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us!

What a sweet card, darling little birds.
Adorable card! The circle frame is an awesome touch! And here I thought you blended blue and purple into the circle. It is amazing how long ink will stay on plastic!! So glad the accident turned out happy for you!
Lovely happy accident and this birds are so sweet. A wonderful CAS design and FAB use of the colours. Hugs Bev x
So cute, Patricia! Love the birds and your design with these fun colors.
Patricia, I love the cute birds standing on the wire. So beautiful and CAS.
Beautiful masking and what a good accident to have happen – that purple tinge on the edge of the circle is perfect!
