Happy Thursday and it’s time for a new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week it’s a colour challenge

And here’s the banner which inspired my card:

Quite a tricky combination of colours isn’t it? I felt that they needed to be separated but together and the paisleys were the perfect option. I first stamped the sentiment in bermuda bay and then stamped the paisleys in the archival basic black (twist your stamps on the ink pad and THEN tap tap tap for a better coverage). After that it was a relaxing time simply using my stampin’ write markers to colour in portions of the design. I left lots of white (or very vanilla in this case) space to keep the card CAS and to balance the colourful lower half. A wider than usual border of the card base helped to tame the busy-ness of the paisleys and the skinny black mat framed it all nicely.

Why don’t you have a go at these colours and see where they take you? It would be fun to see you in the gallery.

See you tomorrow,
