Hello there! I’m hosting the challenges for the month of May at CAS Colours & Sketches, so I’m getting back in the proverbial game and making some cards this month.

Our first challenge of the month is a color challenge. When I chose these colors a few months ago, I had a vague idea I’d do some sort of nature scene with them, but I didn’t have anything definite in mind. This week, I needed to make a sympathy card for a friend whose father recently passed away. So I decided to do a watercolor wash with some Pool Party and Lost Lagoon ink, and stamp the evergreen tree over the wash colors with Basic Gray ink (since I don’t have Pebbled Path, I had to make a substitution). Very easy, very clean and simple.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has made. What will you create with these colors? We’d love to see! You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Monday, May 20 to link your card at the challenge post. Thanks for stopping by today!
