Week 214: BEACH

 

It's time for a new cue word!  Summer will soon be coming to an end in some parts of the world and we'll be wishing for a beach to sit on somewhere, somehow.  Let's give summer a final wave (pun intended) by brainstorming in honor of all those days filled with sun, water, sand and relaxation!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

  1. One main image
  2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
  3. Limited layers & embellishments
  4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)


Cindy B Designs is returning as our sponsor and offering this week's winner a $25 PayPal gift certificate!

Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!

Judy

Use a section of a larger stamp to keep your design CAS.


Kymona

Using your stamps to create motion keeps your design CAS! 


Melissa

Monochromatic color schemes are great for CAS design!

Keeping ink blending to a third of the card preserves white space.


Tracey

One single image in one corner of the card base allows for lots of white space.
