It's time for a new cue word and as we approach the new year, we thought it appropriate to welcome it in with a little toast! This cue word challenge will run for two weeks instead of one due to the busy holiday season!
As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
- One main image
- Lots of open space, uncluttered
- Limited layers & embellishments
- 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!)
STAMPlorations is returning to help us finish off 2016 and is offering this challenge's winner their choice of either a $10 gift certificate to the online store OR 2 ARTplorations stencils! Remember, during the weeks STAMPlorations is sponsoring us, you can refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!
Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!
Using an inlaid die can frame your main image and still keep your card clean & simple.
