Week 64: HARVEST

 

The crops are showing signs of the season around these parts and soon the farmers will be busy harvesting!  Today is October 1, and that brings to mind so many different things!  October just seems to confirm autumn's arrival!  We're anxious to see what you think of when you hear this week's cue word!

First, let's see what our guest designer and the CASology design team created for inspiration!

Guest Designer:  Gay

With a detailed stamp, it’s not always necessary to colour the details; a multi-coloured ink pad hints at the warm glowing fruit.

Stamping a second time without re-inking can create interest and movement on a CAS card

Stamping images within a small area of a card helps create a focal point and lots of "white" space.

Meghan

Revisit the fabulous technique of embossing with dies to add texture to your clean and simple card.


Melissa

Use varying heights of one image to keep things simple.

A simple strip of patterned paper is perfect for a clean and simple card.

Layering your stamping adds depth and interest!

Using subtle background stamps on your card base can add interest and texture 
while still keeping it CAS.
