It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. Our first challenge of the month is a sketch challenge:
We have a focal rectangle with a sentiment beneath and a diagonal line behind. Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when making your card.
I did turn the layout through 90 degrees for my card today, as I wanted to use the bird trio from 'the Online Exclusives Cutest Crew' stamp set (I'm also linking up with the 'animals' challenge over at CAS on Friday) as I wanted the diagonal behind to be little footprints and it worked better this way around. It did give me a sideways sentiment, but I think it's OK since the card is uber CAS and it's easy to read without too much bodily contortion!
I used 3 of the new 2026-28 In Color Blends to colour my tweet trio: Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe and a little Peaceful Pine for the grass:
My favourite part of this card is definitely the row if tiny birdie footprints - sometimes it's the little things, right?
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.
As a reminder, for our colour challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colours. You may also use neutral colours; however, the challenge colours should be the most noticeable ones featured 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.
Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
