Colour Challenge - Brown and Blue.

We've had a bit of a Spring Clean here on the Stampin' Chic Blog!

I thought that I would give the DT some well earned rest from setting the challenges, so that they con concentate on creating some gorgeously inspirational cards for your delectation.

Beckie Dreyer and I will now set the challenges, taking it in turn (although, trust me to go and scupper the arrangement just as it gets started, Beckie will look after the challenge blog whilst I'm in Australia). We are also dropping the Limited Supplies Challenge, and introdcuing a new challenge - Be Chic - we will reveal more next week.

I would sincerely love to offer a prize for every challenge that we set, however, I don't think my bank balance would thank me for that! Therefore, there will be a prize for the Sketch challenge and the Be Chic challenge. The Colour challenge and Technique Challenge will be just to stretch your card making skills and will be for fun.

So, back to the challenge. This week it's the turn of the Colour Challenge. This week the colours I would like you to use are:

Brown and Blue

You need to use at least one item from the Clare Curd singature range, just add you name to Mister Linky at the bottom of the post with a link to your card.

The design team have yet again worked their magic and created some gorgeous cards to hopefully inspire you.
