 Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to my blog,

We are back with another round of CAS Colours and Sketches Challenges. I am  hosting this color challenge round. I picked a color palette that would work great for flowers or as in my case, insects.

*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.
