Week 209: WATERCOLOR

 

It's time for a new cue word!  Watercoloring has been wildly popular so let's see what you can do with it in clean & simple design!

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!)
