Hello there! It’s time for another sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week’s offering is a rather clean and simple design that I think is really versatile for lots of different occasions.
As a subconscious play into my last sentence, I opted not to put a sentiment on the card I made using this sketch. I’ve turned the sketch on its side. I cut a fancy rectangular shape from an index card and used that as a mask, brushing some lavender and some purple ink into it. Then I stamped the flower using the same two colors of ink for the blossoms. After playing around with the cardstock, I finally chose to use the darker purple for a mat and the green for the card base. The color scheme is taken from the current challenge at The Paper Players. It doesn’t show in the photo, but the white cardstock has a subtle shimmer to it.
Why don’t you check out what the rest of the design team has done with this sketch? I’m sure they’d enjoy it if you stop by their blogs. Then create a card of your own and share it with us at the CC&S site. You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, April 16 to link your card. We’d love to have you join in the fun and creativity!
Edited on April 16, 2018 to add: Thank you to Elizabeth from The Paper Players for choosing this card as A Cut Above! It’s an honor!

Great use of the colors, Patricia! Loving the hollyhocks stamp and still wishing I hadn’t gotten rid of mine all of those years ago. Thanks for the honest feedback you left on my card last week. I appreciate your frankness and perspective. Hugs, Cathy
So beautifully CAS! I love how you incorporated the colors! Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
Beautiful card! A perfect use of the colors this week over at The Paper Players. Thanks for playing!
Patricia, this is beautiful! So serene. I like your shaped mask with the gorgeous hollyhock over it. Clean and simple and wonderful! Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
Patricia this is so pretty! It really has a soft glow to it.
I love your masking and your simple floral image, Patricia! CAS perfection, it’s so pretty! Thanks for playing with my lavender challenge this week at the Players!
Perfectly clean-and-simple! I love the light purple background stamp–it really makes the strong colors pop. Beautiful, thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!
Patricia this is a fabulous take on both challenges! I particularly like your take on the sketch, with the tall flower for the long, narrow strip – inspired! A great CAS card. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Awesome card, Patricia! I love how you rotated the sketch – it works perfect for the lovely flower!
Love the way you’ve interpreted the sketch and combined the color challenge so well.
So soft and pretty, beautiful inking and colouring too. Hugs Bev x
