To create the layers for this card duo. I adhered 1/2" by 6 1/2" strips of patterned paper to a 8" by 5 1/4" piece of card stock. Then cut the card stock in half to get two layers measuring 4" by 5 1/4".

I hope my card inspired you to join in this challenge and make something of your own. This challenge runs until 12:00 midnight GMT Wednesday, September 2, 2026. See the blog post for all the rules and guidelines. Also, check out the other wonderful projects made by the Design Team.

 Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to my blog,

We are back with another round of CAS Colours and Sketches Challenges. Amanda is hosting this color challenge. She has a great color combo to work with. I can't wait to see what your creative brains come up with. I used a favorite foliage bundle to create my card.

For our colour challenges, you must use all 3 challenge colours. You may also use white, black, Kraft, metallic, and subtle shades of brown or grey but only in support of the challenge colours, they should not be one of the featured colours on your card. We use Stampin' Up colour names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' products as long as you match the challenge colours as closely as possible. 

Please remember to keep your card CAS!

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.
