Hello there! It’s the start of a new year of challenges at CAS Colours & Sketches!

As usual, we’re starting off with a color challenge. Jeanne, our host for the month of January, has chosen some lovely bright, rich colors for us to work with. My brain toyed with the idea of doing something with florals, but I wasn’t completely sold on that, so I decided to browse through some of the other online challenges to see what they had going on. The Paper Players is asking participants to create a birthday card, and AAA Cards has a sketch challenge. The proverbial light bulb went off in my head, and I came up with this:

OK, it may not be the most conventional color trio to see on party hats, but I thought it worked all right.  Grouping the hats was tricky, and I realize that viewing the hats as one whole image, it’s not centered, but oh well.  I know I’m picky about that kind of thing. 

I hope you’ll join in the fun and creativity at CC&S! You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Monday, January 22 to link your card to the challenge post. Thanks for stopping by today!
