Week 360: CRYSTAL

Here we are at the beginning of another new challenge!  This next one should make for a rather pretty gallery!  Let's see what you come up with!

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!)

STAMPlorations is returning as our wonderful sponsor and is offering this challenge's winner $25 off their next online order!

Be sure and check out their current sale!

Let's see what the design team and our guest designer created for inspiration to get us started!
