This is our last challenge for 2017. We will be taking a break over the Christmas period and will be back on 9 January 2018 with a sketch challenge from Beverley.
In the meantime, here’s this week’s challenge.
I’ve opted to go with Challenge #227 from 13 June.
This is what I came up with using the Cheers to the Year stamp set, which is sadly retiring in January.
I actually started with a Thick Whisper White card base and then matted a piece of Night of Navy on top. The Soft Sky strip of cardstock down the left-hand edge has snowflakes in Soft Sky stamped over it. I did this before I glued the strip to the edge.
The wreath was stamped in Soft Sky before I stamped the Night of Navy snowflake over it. I had to use my Stamp-a-mag jog to do this to make sure of the correct placement. The whole thing was then punched out using a 2″ circle punch.
The smaller snowflake was stamped in Soft Sky and then punched out using the 1-3/8″ circle punch.
The Merry Christmas which came from the Merry Patterns stamp set (no longer available) was stamped in Night of Navy onto Whisper White cardstock and made it into a banner for the card front.
The snowflakes were finished off with some Glitter Enamel dots in the centres and I also added a few to the card front itself.
This is the last CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge for 2017 so don’t forget to check out all the other design team member’s projects. Before you disappear and do that though, here’s wishing you a Very Happy Christmas and a fabulous 2018.

Very pretty card. Love the blue; it gives the card a nice winter feel. I'm looking forward to being on the CC&S design team with you.
Wonderful card, Fiona! Snowflakes are a perfect use of this sketch!
You've picked some pretty shades of blue to showcase these lovely snowflakes! It's a super wintry card!
I love the different shades of blue with the white it gives your card a really elegant feel!
This is beautiful, I love the inside stamping.
Love the blues you used for this winter card, Fiona!!
My fave, snowflakes! Love the shades of blue you have used and the snowflakes stamped inside circle die cuts is a fab idea. Wonderful CAS and festive inspiration. Hugs Bev x
