Week 84: PAINT

 

Ready for a new cue word?  How about a fresh coat of PAINT?!  Let's take this week's cue word and "brush up" on our CAS design skills by reviewing these helpful hints:

1.  One main image
2.  Lots of open space (uncluttered)
3.  Limited layers & embellishments
4.  Quick & easy to recreate

Let's see how clean & simple you can get this week!  Painting is rather messy sometimes, but thankfully CAS design isn't!  Here's proof!

Guest Designer:  Hannelie

When choosing a background for a CAS design, keep the pattern simple with clean lines. Bigger proportioned patterns also contribute to a clean look. 


Kimberly

To achieve a spray paint effect, ink the sides of your stamp and sponge in a downward motion.
Yet another way to achieve CAS dimension, depth, and impact without layers or bulk. 


Maureen

Keeping all of your stamping and embellishments in one spot helps build your focal point while leaving lots of white space.

May

Use monochromatic color scheme to make your card look clean and simple.

Try stamping over a watercolor background.
