*CAS Colours & Sketches #450*

 I am thrilled to announce that I have been invited to join the team at CAS Colours & Sketches!  I, along with a few other new design team members have been asked to join them in the final challenge of 2021.

You can choose to make your seasonal card using any of our colour, sketch, or double challenges from 2021.  You can even create your own double challenge by combining one of our sketch challenges with one of our colour challenges!  The graphics from all of our challenges can be found by clicking on the Past Challenges tabs at the top of the page. Our usual guidelines for all of our challenges apply to this challenge.  Remember to keep your card clean and simple in style!  We ask that in your post, you note which of our challenges you've used for your card.

I waffled on what challenge I wanted to revisit, but went with the sketch of challenge #412.  I changed it up a little bit, but WOW do I love how it turned out!
