CAS Colours and Sketches #551 Color Challenge

Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to my blog,

There is a little bit of tweaking to our challenge schedule. There will be a new challenge every two weeks and will alternate between a color challenge and a sketch challenge.

Rachel is starting off the New Year with the January challenges. She has created a great color combination. For my card, I pulled out some favorite stamps and dies. I also pulled out some new patterned paper to die cut the flowers. This Fruit Salad DSP is available for free during Sale A Bration.


For the color challenges, you must use all of the challenge colors provided. You can also use neutral colors, such as black, just be sure the challenge colors are the most prominent on your card. Stampin' Up names are used for reference, but you may use any other brands as long as they closely match the challenge colors listed.
