Week 235: HERO

 

It's time for a new cue word!  Who or what do you think of when you see this word?

"No true hero ever believes that they are one." - Neal Shusterman

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!)

Avery Elle is returning as our sponsor and is offering this week's winner a $20 gift certificate to their online store!  Did you know they have 12 new stamp sets and 15 new dies being released this Thursday, February 9?!  They're having a designer blog hop that day and you won't want to miss it!  You can keep up with the new release and hop on their blog as well as on Facebook!

Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!

Guest Designer:  Dena

design defined:

A single large image can be CAS with a subdued color palette and still allow for lots of 'white' space.


Deidre

design defined:
Work in odd numbers and allow your images to drift off the page for CAS appeal!

 

Hannelie

design defined:

Embellishments in limited quantities enhance a CAS design.

Hazel

design defined:
Limited colours work well for graphic CAS designs.


Jacquie

design defined:

White space doesn't have to be white. 

Janet

design defined:

By keeping bigger stamps in a softer colour, they do not overpower the white space.


Jen

design defined:  

A little bit of patterned paper goes a long way on a CAS card.


Joyce

design defined:
Tone on tone stamping adds interest to a background without being overly distracting.

Judy

design defined:

One layer cards with one main image keep it CAS.

Kymona

design defined:
Silhouette stamping keeps your card CAS!

Melissa

 design defined:
Black & white is a great color scheme for CAS design!

Rachel

design defined:

One main image and lots of white keep your card clean and simple!

Sherrie

design defined:

Use bold color in small doses with lots of white space to keep it CAS.
