May Colour Challenge

Thank you for all the wonderful entries to our sketch challenge.

This week we have a colour challenge for you - I'd like you to create a card using turquoise and gold.

You can use black, white and neutrals on your card as well as the challenge colours, but no other colours.

I love this colour combination - for me it's reminiscent of chocolate boxes, but there are so many ways to use it, as the design team have demonstrated!

Our guest designer this week is:

Tina Z

Lucinda

Myrna

Fabiola

Lucinda (again!)

Alison

EK

Andreja

April Colour Challenge

Hello and welcome to our April colour challenge. 

Perhaps a bit unusual but I have chosen purple. If you are not sure about purple on a Christmas card then try a little or if you love it go all out like I have.  Of course you can add other colours  if you'd like to. I can't wait to see your cards. 

Our guest designer this week:

Marjeta

February - Colour

Hello Everyone, Myrna here! This month I am in charge of selecting all the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenges. For our Colour challenge I chose Shades of Blue. Nothing says cold like the blues. I love monochrome cards and challenge you to try to make a card that focuses on using blue tones. Use as many or few as you want. You can use inks, watercolours, markers, pencils, colour stock etc. to show blue.
