CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #575 seasonal

 hello crafters!

To celebrate this month's festivities, we have a seasonal challenge at CAS colours and sketches. The challenge will go for 3 weeks (till 29 Dec) so you'll have time to make all those christmas and holiday cards and show us in the gallery! 

You'll need to go back to our challenges from this year and choose one you like - either sketch or colours - and make a seasonal card based on the prompt. Make sure to let us know which challenge you've based your card on!

I chose challenge #560 designed by Laura. I love making square cards and this design really lends itself to so many possibilities. I used some design paper to die cut squares and lined then up on a die cut white square card panel. The little trees were die cut, subtly ink blended and adhered. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed for a bit of bling, then it was die cut as a tag. I also die cut a couple more of those teeny stars to put on the tree.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery! Hope you have a lovely christmas time with friends and family. See you in the new year on 6 Jan with our new challenge!

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #550 seasonal

 hello crafters!

This happens to be our 550th challenge. Woohoo! What a terrific way to round out the year! We're proud of the milestone but we couldn't have done it without you, our family of crafters. So thank you to all who joined in, read our blogs, or felt inspired by our challenges - join us in celebrating for the last challenge this year.

This is our last challenge for this year at CAS colours and sketches and as is tradition, Patricia has asked you to take one of our 2024 challenges and make it seasonal.

I chose to use challenge #548 which has such lovely traditional christmas colours. The background was stencilled using a texture paste. The smaller die cut tree was adhered. The larger tree was stacked 3 times, and adhered with foam squares. The sentiment was die cut from silver card, stacked twice and adhered with the tree.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!

We wish you all the best for the holiday season and look forward to seeing you back again in 2025!

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #527 seasonal

 hello lovely crafters!

It's time for the last challenge for this year at CAS Colours and Sketches and we are asking you to choose a challenge from 2023 and make it a seasonal card! I chose Joanne's sketch from February.

I love this sketch because it's so versatile! I used some fun xmas paper for the border, then die cut a large tree and adhered it over the circle. The sentiment was stamped and the tree was finished with a tiny silver star. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don't forget to check out our guestie Deborah's blog. We can't wait to see your creation in our gallery!

Have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year, and we'll see you back for a fresh colour challenge on Jan 9!
