March Color Challenge

Hello there!  It's Patricia, your challenge hostess for the month of March.  In the United States, it's "Spring Forward" weekend for the places that observe Daylight Savings Time.  It hasn't felt much like Spring yet where I live in Virginia; we received about 5 inches of snow on top of some sleet on Monday.  But no matter what the weather is like, it's always Christmas time here at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown.

Since it's the second Saturday of the month, we're presenting a color challenge for this week.  Pick three or more of the colors from this graphic to use in your Christmas or wintry card:

 

You may also use white, cream, gold, silver, or black as neutrals for your card base, as embellishments, or as ink colors for outline images or sentiments.  However, the colors from the graphic should be the main colors used on your card.

We have a very vintage card from our March Guest Design Team member, Scraplady!

Here's her take on our colors:

Here is some more inspiration from the Design Team:

Please make sure to follow these rules when you play along with us here at 52CCT! :)

March Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone!  Welcome to our challenge blog!  If you're new here, we hope you'll join in the fun and creativity.  If you're a returning participant, we're glad you're back!

Are you ready for another month of challenges?  Patricia is our hostess for the month of March, and this week we're starting things off with a sketch challenge:

This looks like a fun one, doesn't it?  You're welcome to rotate or flip the sketch, or even change it from a rectangle to a square, so long as we can still easily see the design elements in your card.

We have a surprise this month - a Guest Design Team member!  

Please help us welcome Scraplady!

Here's her take on our sketch:

And here is what the Design Team has created with it:
