Week #7: GREEN

Are you ready to try your luck on Challenge #7?  One lucky participant is going to win a 40-sheet package of quality white cardstock!  All you have to do to enter the drawing is play along with us this week and link up your creation here on the CASology blog!  The winner will be chosen using Random.org.

With all this talk of luck, we thought we'd use the color GREEN as our cue word!



Let's see what the design team has created for inspiration!  Aileen, last week's winner, is joining us as our guest designer!


Guest Designer:  Aileen

design defined:
It's possible to keep a card CAS whilst still having a lot of detail.  Simply stamping a tone on tone design on the background adds more depth to this card. 


Jen
design defined: 
Let a busy piece of patterned paper be the focal point and keep further design elements to a minimum.


design defined:
Use multiple shades of one color to create visual appeal.


Rosemary
design defined:
Think carefully about where you place your embellishments so that you create interest, but still keep things simple.


Tracey
design defined: 
Versamark Ink is a simple way to create the look of tone on tone.  Using one stamp for your background saves time too, but you need to remember to turn the stamp as you go around the card to give the illusion of multiple stamped images.


Ardyth 
design defined:
CAS can include busy patterns - use small amounts, and lots of white space to keep the design uncluttered!



Now go have fun and don't forget to link up your GREEN creations by Sunday at noon (CST)!
