Hello hello! At CAS Colours & Sketches, we’re celebrating our challenge blog’s 7th birthday this week with challenge #350! To thank our challenge participants for helping us to reach this milestone, some of our CC&S Design Team members are offering up prizes from stamp companies Concord & 9th, My Favorite Things, Picket Fence Studios, Unity Stamp Company, and Waffle Flower to five lucky players in this week’s challenge. You won’t want to miss out on this event! All the details are at the challenge site.
Our challenge this week features some festive colors. To be honest, I chose them with the thought that it would be easy for the team and our participants to use them for holiday cards. If you check out the design team’s cards, you’ll see that’s exactly what happened! 🙂 For my card, I used a die to cut star-shaped ornaments from cardstock in the three challenge colors. The die I chose created lots of little parts, which made it easy to make multiple cards using the frames from the gold stars and the little pieces of deep red and green to fill in the design. Some of the pieces were pretty tiny so I opted not to fill those back in. I think the white left there provides some nice contrast and adds to the clean and simple look. It doesn’t really show in the photo, but I used shimmery white cardstock for the focal panel and the card base, which gives the card a nice hint of sparkle in real life. A gold die-cut sentiment finishes off the card.
A big hug of appreciation goes out to all of my CC&S Design Team members and our challenge participants for making our blog such a wonderful gathering place for fun and creativity! The rest of the team and I would love to see what you can create with this week’s colors, and to have you join in celebrating with us! Share your card at the CC&S website by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, December 9. We hope you’ll continue to join in our challenges! Thanks for stopping by here today.
