30 Days of Christmas Day 3- Sketch

Welcome to Day Three of Martin's Mayhem 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge. Today there is a sketch challenge. On of my favorite things about this 30 Day challenge is that it gives me a chance to pull out so many favorite things from my stash. Today I pulled out some pretty patterned paper and mixed it with some current products.

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.
