Week 68: BLACK

 

Halloween is creeping up on us this week, so we thought it appropriate to use a cue word that would go along with the holiday!  No, you don't have to make a Halloween card!  As always, you're welcome to interpret the cue word however you'd like!  Whatever comes to mind when you think of the word black is what you should go with!  As you'll see, this week's inspiration includes a variety of interpretations!


Guest Designer:  Kristie

Try using the inlaid die cutting technique on your cards for fewer layers.

Tone on tone embossing is perfect for a CAS design.

design defined:
Stamp your scene first and then layer with a die cut for maximum impact. 
 design defined: 
A little colour on a mainly white background can give surprising but still CAS results!

Trying adding windows to your card to create depth.

White space doesn't have to be white!

 design defined:
Minimal details can allow a main image speak for itself! 
design defined:
Modernize your card by trying different placements for your image panel.
Instead of centering my panel, I moved it to the top edge of the card.
Using a single "pop" of color can also create interest on a CAS Card. 
design defined:
Black and white combined with the pop of one other color makes for a striking design!

A little black goes a long way on a clean and simple card.
