Hello there! Since January has five Tuesdays, that means it’s time for a double challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches! This week we’re asking our challenge participants to combine the given colors with the given sketch. We’ve reached back into the archives for some retired Stampin’ Up colors and a previous CC&S sketch. Sounds like fun, right? Be sure to check out what the rest of the CC&S design team has done with it!
I’ll admit I had a difficult time figuring out what to do for this challenge. I wanted to make a valentine, but unlike some of the other design team members, I had a hard time wrapping my head around that with the challenge colors. Finally I decided to think ahead on the calendar and start on the next season: Easter. Even though I don’t really consider Easter to be a card-giving holiday, I know that some people do, so over the years I’ve made some Easter cards for the charities I support. I substituted a squarish shape for the heart on the sketch, which gave me a little more room to create a little springtime scene using the challenge colors. Because of the direction the rabbit is facing, I’ve flipped the sketch mirror-image. I popped up the rabbit with dimensional adhesive for a little more visual interest.
Now it’s time for you to get your craft on and link your own card to our challenge post! You have until 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, February 5 to share your card with us. We’d love to see what you can do with our double challenge!
