Hello! It’s color challenge week at CAS Colours & Sketches and we have a bright and cheery color combo to work with.
This color combination seemed pretty gender neutral to me so I decided to use it for a birthday card that I can donate to Send a Smile 4 Kids. The current challenges at AAA Cards and Less is More seemed interesting, so I’ve combined them with the CC&S challenge. I started off by working with scrap paper to create a mask that divided my card into thirds on a diagonal. I put the mask in place on my card front and centered a stencil in it. Then I masked off portions of the stencil with washi tape so I could brush ink in the three challenge colors, keeping the colors separated from each other. Once I got the colors all done, I removed the masks and stamped the sentiment with black ink. The card still looked like something was missing, so I scored a trio of lines both above and below the inked portion of the card.
We’d love to see what you can create with this week’s colors! Share your card at the CC&S website by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, March 26, 2018. Thanks for stopping by today!
