May Color Challenge

Hi, friends!  We loved seeing all your fabulous sketchy creations last week and can't wait to see what you do with our challenge this week!  It's a color challenge and it's all about two simple colors--RED AND WHITE.

Here's some color inspiration for you~

Before we see the DT inspirations, we'd like to clarify the rules about our color weeks.  

Rules for Colour Challenges

Christmas cards made for colour challenges should only contain the colours stipulated. 

However, certain 'neutral' colours may be included.
If a colour challenge includes any of the stipulated neutrals that is the only neutral allowed on that occasion. For colour challenges not using a neutral ONE neutral may then be included for example
Red, Green & White - only the neutral white can be used. (Black ink may be used here ONLY for the purposes of stamping an image or printing a digi image).
Red, Green & Blue - ONE neutral can be used on your card.
Our Neutral colours are: Black, White, Cream, Kraft & Gray. A flesh tone can also be added when colouring skin.
Please note that Gold and Silver are here classed as colours.

Hopefully this makes things more clear about what colors to use to be eligible to win an honor and/or prize here at 52CCT. :)

And some gorgeous inspiration from the DT~
