CAS Colours and Sketches #597 Sketch Challenge

Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to my blog,

CAS Colours and Sketches has another sketch challenge for you to play with starting today.  I am your host this time and I have a sketch of five shapes, have fun! I used some fun bright paper and simple die cuts for my card.

Basic White and Thick White Card Stock

Brights Painted Patterns DSP

Stylish Shapes Dies and Black Ink

As a reminder, 'clean and simple' (CAS) is defined as "uncluttered, with a lot of white or open space, and minimal layers and embellishments". Subtle texture or shading is okay as long as it does not distract from the main focal point of your card.  

I hope you join us at CC&S this week. Click the icon above to get to the challenge. We would love to see what you create for this sketch challenge. You can enter your project from now until 7:00pm EST on Monday, November 9, 2026. You can find all the rules and requirements on the challenge page.
