Week 264: SQUARE

 

It's hip to be square this week here at CASology!  Let's see where your brainstorming takes you!

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!)

Take a look at what the design team has created for inspiration!

Anna

design defined: 

Use foam adhesive to add dimension and interest and still keep it CAS.

Frame your image with blocks of color to draw the eye into your card.

Let the sentiment take center stage to keep a design CAS.
